My theme for this year’s A to Z Challenge is the A to Z of Democracy. This is your trigger warning. If you are going to be bothered by my descriptions of what I believe America should look and feel like, please stop reading and come back next year when my topic may go back to music or scrapbooking or interesting tidbits. Please respect my space and DO NOT leave disinformation or inflammatory statements in the comments. It’s my blog and I will delete them. Thanks for your cooperation. 

So this one is kind of easy, isn’t it? We can surely see that those with money have power over the rest of us folks. From inauguration day when all those millionaires and billionaires were standing behind #47 as he took the “oath” of office it was clear to see who was going to be most important. The subsequent bills that have been passed cutting all the needed services like healthcare, veteran’s benefits, food supply, etc. in order to pay for tax cuts for those folks who truly don’t need another dime in their lifetimes absolutely shows what’s happening here.

Can we imagine for a moment what would have been possible had the woman won? There was talk about assistance with first time home buying, starting new businesses and more. Sounds much more in line with the common man, no?

As always, credit goes to Speaker Hakeem Jeffries who gave an impassioned speech on the floor of the House of Representatives at the beginning of the 218th congress.
