I'm just saying, I could use some help here.
I've lived up and down the east coast of the USA, from Greenville South Carolina to Boston Massachusetts, urban and rural. And that clearly is the boundry between Republicans and Democrats. 'City Folk' are Democrats and 'Country Folk' are Republicans, by and large.
And the thing that City Folk can't understand about Country Folk is that down and out here the big corporate media giants have bought up the whole damned radio and newspaper market and most of the TV... and WE ARE BEING BRAINWASHED!
To lots of us ruralers the steady stream of ultra 'Ayn Rand-ian' philosophy from all of our local papers and news/talk radio is quite literally ALL CONSUMING. There is a whole lot of what you see in 'Idiocracy' going on down and out here.
So I'm just saying, don't you dare give up on us. We would both regret that, but please have hope that the truth can lift us up...and give me a hand!
How can you help? GOOD QUESTION! Here's the answer...
Make my masthead the topic of every political debate and conversation possible, because this is the key to the kingdom...A simple public analysis of our USA history of tax policy compared to our basic national history of economics data and accomplishments. Here is my mast.

Between 1940-80 the wealthiest Americans paid between 70% to 90% income tax.
And that's how we built the American Dream. How else could we afford it? Between 1940-80 we fought and paid for WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, we built our US Interstate Expressway system, Roads, Electrical Grid, Telephone, our main Bridges and Tunnels; we Made every Car we Drove and we wore just the Clothes we Sewed and WE WENT TO THE MOON SIX TIMES-AND WE PAID FOR IT ALL!
