Other than to pass laws why does the public at-large vote? To the 'Proposition' and according to the law to proposition is illegal. To the fact that voting for a person for seat or office is to ensure that person a job. While the government was meant to be based on the Constitution the document said We the People of the United States in Order to form a more perfect Union establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, ensure domestic tranquility, what a diverse stature. Today and as the United States of America prepares to vote in what has been coined the Mid-terms I do not ponder the signature of what is a machine, I instead hold my vote as once again I am tired of the 'interview' i.e. commercials, campaigning, rhetoric that surrounds the process to put a 'Man' in office/position. In regards to the 'Propositions' we live in an immigrant country and merely the word coins prostitution which is against the law.
Fact: The ones that gain office in these coined mid-term elections have benefits, food on their plates, security for the families and a voice. The fact that once elected the States just hammer other States and Washington D.C. seems as if it is a process of electing a whipping boy that has the vacuum to be the servant that goes to office and suck. As crass as this may sound the event of any change has not effected the leaping classes as proven, where is the Middle Class? Most recent article? No, this is the first result as listed on GOOGLE;
America's middle class is slowly being 'wiped out' - MarketWatch: Published: July 23, 2018 3:20 p.m. ET: America’s middle class is slowly being ‘wiped out'
After spending his days teaching AP American history and economics at
the public Live Oak High School in San Jose, Calif., Matt Barry drives
for Uber.
Barry’s wife, Nicole, teaches as well — they each earn
$69,000, a combined salary that not long ago was enough to afford a
comfortable family life. But due to the astronomical costs in his area,
including real estate — a 1,500-square-foot “starter home” costs
$680,000 — driving for Uber was a necessity.
“Teachers are killing themselves,” Barry says in Alissa Quart’s new book, “Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America”
(Ecco), out Tuesday. “I shouldn’t be having to drive Uber at eight
o’clock at night on a weekday. I just shut down from the mental toll:
grading papers between rides, thinking of what I could be doing instead
of driving — like creating a curriculum.”

Jul 23, 2018 - America's middle class is being wiped out by the cost of living
far .... positions have been eliminated through attrition as more non-tenure track ...
To date there has been no-response and it has been said in quote by so many past presidents that measure is the beacon of a mountain and the man it's range that today I do not look to what is a 'Party' or 'Democrat' or 'Republican' as the dam of obstruction has lost it's mountain and made valleys its sediment of sand.
In closing, the fact that 'We the People' do not get voted into common positions of retail, corporate worlds or the else (fill in the blank with your endeavor in life) and we are forced to apply via application after application and can be turned-down at any turn and therefrom have no coin to flip I process only my hold.
