Candidate statement
Jackson provided the following candidate statement for the Washington State voter guide:
| “ |
This isn't a game, nor a joke: the Gamblers on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Republicans and Democrats have been blowing smoke up your ass for a long time now, you've been hosed. There is no 15 to 30 second sound bite that can cut through the stench. Reading and math scores in this nation are abysmal, the hand wringing over Fentanyl overdoses, deaths is unconscionable and leaving a $34.6 Trillion mess for the kids is disgusting. It is past time to clean things up, no more kicking the can (2024 interest on debt $2.931 Billion per day; last year, $2.418 Billion). There are two options here, either the political parties and there minions weren't capable of figuring this out or they didn't care! If they didn't care the question becomes, Why? Which one or combination of the three options was/is it; Power, Control or Greed? During Reagan's Presidency(R) the deficit increased over 185% from all the years previously (tax cuts & Starve the Beast). Clinton's Presidency(D) gutted Glass-Steagall (unregulating investment banks), The Commodity Futures Modernization Act (deregulated Derivatives). The only way to stop the Millionaires and Billionaires with their special interest groups and political action committees (PAC's) is the involvement of people who have been steam-rolled by their agenda. The Constitution of the United States starts out with We The People, that means all of us not just the Special Interest Groups and Political Action Committees. Are we going to continue living this way or opt for change before it is forced upon us. Interspersed throughout the website InsanityRules.org are some solution offered because sincere discussion followed by action will be the only way to get off this highway to hell. Want change, vote differently. These problems are serious, the time for humor is over, participation matters. [6] |
