“Share the wealth”
Okay, okay, okay….
Obviously, republicans don’t understand the concept of “share the wealth”…
In effect, it is not the “sharing” or “giving away” of money.
It is what happens when employers actually pay their employees a decent, livable, much above minimum wage with health benefits for work done. It’s true, the employers don’t wind up with as much money–but they wind up with happy, content, willing to work, employees…and that means more money for all!
from Ellen’s point of view…
Issue of Abortion
Republicans keep harping on the abortion issue. But what have THEY done to change anything in the past eight years? Or all those republican years after 1974? They’re not going to change anything about abortion, because many of them secretly believe in the woman’s right to choose.
I don’t. Abort means to kill. And killing is wrong. There has to be a better way.
But I’m tired of being accused of not being a Christian just because I’m a democrat. It is what republicans say and think.
I don’t believe in abortion. But it was made a law in 1974. Republicans always make this an election issue, but have NEVER done anything to abolish the law! So it’s not an issue with me as far as voting. Health insurance for all IS an issue for me. Staying out of war IS an issue with me. Paying people a decent wage is an issue with me.
As far as being a Christian, when Jesus said to help the needy and poor, He didn’t specify whether they deserved it or not…. When he said to visit those in prison, He didn’t say whether they deserved it or not…. When He said to love our neighbor, He didn’t specify that they had to deserve our love….
