Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":

"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

The November 6th Election, A Foreign Perspective

What are the US midterms and why do they matter? – video explainer

The McGlynn Statement:

Please be notified that through the U.S. election on November 6th the emphasis will be on the election.

The battle for our Country’s very soul is at stake. The Fascists, led by Trump the Dump, must be defeated.

To the Young and Women; Please Vote! The future is in your hands.

And Remember Trump and Fake News:

So if fake news is the culprit, one of the biggest culprits must therefore be his own dear Fox News, which has whipped Trump’s zombie supporters into a frenzy that we knew was turning murderous a long time ago.

And they are doing this at the behest of Trump himself,which has to make him the biggest culprit of all. They’ve been invoking hysteria for the purpose of political demagoguery in YOUR name.

Donald, even as you repeatedly identity the cross hairs targetsby name and continue to demonize them to the jeers of your mob.

For three years at his rallies Trump has repeatedly and constantly encouraged his mob to fantasize about beating up protesters to the point of death. He celebrates a violent criminal assault in Montana for which there was an actual conviction. And then someone gets sucker punched, and then someone gets run over by a car, and now 11are dead in yet another assault weapon mass murder.

And Remember How Each Senator Voted on the Republican Tax Bill:

This tax bill reduced massively the taxes the rich pay and did nothing to help the middle class.

The Senate voted 51-49 to pass the Republican tax overhaul bill. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee was the only Republican to vote no. The House and Senate will now need to reconcile the differences between their two tax plans.

Below, how every senator voted on the bill.
