Democracy is not perfect. Politicians are bought out by the wealthy, who make sure laws favor them. Poor people get into power and sometimes steal, for themselves or for the kickbacks. So what?

The truth is the billionaires are making so much that should instead have been put back into society, via taxes. Regan and Drumpf dropped their tax rates, but it goes back to the 1950s.

In any case, our tax dollars (all of us) goes to pay for the screwups and for the good programs (think medicare, and SNAP) and our payroll taxes pay for our own Social Security when we get old. Those programs are fantastic, and constantly threated by the above named corrupt politicians, bought out by wealthy racists, etc.

As for New Hampshire, the gov denied the expansion of health insurance for how many years? How many poor people denied health care for cancer? How many lives lost? Do the math.
