    Not American, but curious as to why you don’t vote for polices that prevent the healthcare ripoff?

    Because they aren’t on the ballot.

      And when they are they’re so stuffed full of pork that to vote for healthcare you also have to vote for having your bones ground for tomorrow’s bread.

      Because they aren’t on the ballot.

      Get involved earlier in the process.

      Today’s school board members are tomorrow’s city councilors, and they are the next batch of senators, governors , congressmen, and even presidents.

      A small number of people helping select candidates and voting can have a much bigger impact in the “minor leagues” of politics, and can shape the future direction of the country.
