Unfortunately,
those who do not vote thinking their voice will not be heard become mute in the
whole process of American democracy.
This allows the opposing point of view to retain power to create
policies that may not benefit you. Ironically,
some of the most well-rounded, educated people I know will refuse to vote. Instead, they complain about investments not
being distributed to the right areas in this country. Some people I know will wait in line for food
stamps or other governmental aid not knowing their poor decision of not voting
is a “silent partnership” created by both parties. One who may cut YOUR benefits while the other
is at home watching mindless television which means; they approved their
quality way of life to be determined by someone else who they may disagree with. For example, if you lost your job more than

have what benefits in life. Usually,
those who have political power have economic power as well. It is very important to get involved because
a decisive vote can put a political candidate who voices your point of view in
office. There is no limited potential to
tilt economic resources, your beliefs and interest in your favor but a lack of
action will allow the status quo to remain in power.
Men, you have the power to change. Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example. Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking. What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman. Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want. Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets. They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth. To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them. I have a daughter, and I expect men to treat my little princess as a human being when she gets older, not an o
Excellent! Now go vote before the polls close!
