Greatly Disturbing Facts and Reasons Why No Working Class American Should Ever Vote for Anyone With an “R” Next to Their Name

The Federal Government of the United States is very complicated. This is not an accident, it is intentional. Complicated situations and organizations result in confusion and chaos. They create ways for our corrupt and incompetent government to hide the truth from the American people.

MY LIFE SUCKS IN 2026: HOW’S YOURS?

Since I retired, and my only income became the Social Security money I and my employer had placed in a trust, controlled by the federal government, life has been a struggle. I finally realized the truth: without large sums of money, our government has no interest in our seniors, with the exception of our votes.

Then came the Trump era. Trump is a ruthless, fascist dictator. Along with his 989 oligarchs, they created a plutocracy and control everything which happens in our daily lives.

This unholy alliance is founded on the fact that Trump continues to give the super-rich and large corporations tax cuts. The maximum income tax rate in America is currently 37 percent. No one pays this amount. Of the more than 6,800 pages in the tax code, 6,700 contain ways to avoid paying their fair share. Corporations, which report profits of 400, 500, and even 600 percent, benefit from a flat rate of 21 percent before using legal methods to avoid paying their fair share. Meanwhile, the effects of Greedflation, caused by Trump’s oligarchs, combined with moronic tariffs, have raised the prices of necessities by an average of 50 percent. Trump’s party, calling themselves “Republicans,” eagerly approve every tax cut proposed by the fascist dictator. For me and my wife, the adage, “life’s a bitch and then you die,” has become reality.”

No one listened to Kamala Harris’ truth in 2024.

When Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2025, the national debt was more than 32 trillion dollars. Over the last few days it has become 40 trillion dollars: $40,000,000,000,000.00.

THE WORST AND MOST CORRUPT IN THE WORLD

America is the only nation without universal healthcare, the only nation without higher education, and the only federal government which fails to support paid vacations for all employees, among other issues, including the minimum wage, which would improve the lives of the majority. Profits before people.

However, Republicans always approve an increase in the Pentagon’s budget, although watchdog groups continue to claim that 50 cents of every dollar they receive goes to waste. Politicians steal money from social programs to allow the fat, old men in the Pentagon to pay for toys they hope to use in the next war.

Speaking of wars, although America has the largest and most expensive military force in the world, the Pentagon has lost every war since WWII. Counting Trump’s war against Iran, that number has reached five, each costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives.

OUR GOVERNMENT’S BIGGEST CRIME, PROVING CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE BEYOND ONE’S IMAGINATION

When the only “great” President in our nation’s history, Franklin Delano, Roosevelt, signed the Social Security Act into law in 1935, it became and remains the only perfect law passed in our nation’s 250-year history. Guaranteeing that all Americans would have the funds to retire, the plan was simple and would require no funding from taxpayer money, with the exception of administration.

I paid into Social Security for about 45 years. From each paycheck, there were deductions contributed by myself and my employer. When I reached retirement age, 62 for a lesser monthly amount, or 66 for full benefits, I received a monthly amount calculated and based on my and my employer’s contributions.

However, since 1935, America’s incompetent and corrupt federal government continues to add other programs to my retirement fund. By the very definition of the term, “embezzlement,” the federal government of the United States is stealing from me and every other American who worked for a living.

I read an article this morning alleging what I believe is a fact. In 2032, Social Security will run out of funds.

How can this be? Historical fact proves that not a single retiree has lived long enough to receive the total of their contributions to Social Security. There should be a surplus. However, adding other programs to my contributions is a corrupt and secretive way to take actions which enhance politician’s chances for reelection.

Trust no one in our federal government. They constantly lie, cheat, and steal, and cover-up for each other: Republicans and Democrats alike.

America has the most corrupt and incompetent government in the world.
