They’re talking about that legislation again. Banning from Alabama’s public libraries books that blah blah blah.
The quote I am fixated on:
Pinto said the state is protecting taxpayer money by not promoting what he calls a deviant lifestyle.
I pay taxes. Where’s my damn questionnaire? Where’s the interviewer at my door asking me how I think my money should be spent in libraries and schools and hospitals and…
Yes, I KNOW that my vote is supposed to be my voice about how I think my money should be spent. But I’ve noticed this odd trend over the last five-ish years that indicates that my vote is being ignored in this government by the privileged for the privileged.
It’s not that your vote doesn’t count … it’s that lately those who have been elected simply forgot that they have been elected to represent our interests. Rather, they feel that we have elected them so they can think for us and make decisions on our behalf, because, well … they are in a much better position to know what’s good for US, better yet, what is good for the country. If they were not in a better position to make such monumental decisions on our behalf, would we have voted for them? Ahhhh doncha just love politics?
