Posted First On NewC- "The Middle Class Hook Up" Painting by Don Robbins (Chasing Robert Wood)

. The legislative response mechanism is hooked up to the middle class, or it's supposed to be. And yet  there is still a problem in outcome based decision making in politics.

   If the middle class has the most power to elect leaders and after they are elected; those elected officials make decisions that become detrimental to the middle class, then something is wrong. 


   My opinion is that the problem is deception on the part of party backed elections. Where the candidates running for office know how to tell people what they want to hear along party lines, but when it comes to voting on issues in Washington there seems to be some discrepancies with respect to promises that were made during the elections. Or before.


   The Constitution is supposed to be a provider of rights based on what is right and a guideline to help in regulating decisions made in leadership that affect the people. Or the mass. The effects of political decision-making should be for the overall good of the people.


   And what do we do when the Constitution isn't enough to keep them rascals in line up there in Washington D.C.? That's the question!


   Even the wealthiest businessmen are looking for answers on how to get some muscle back into the middle class.  But you know..... I think the middle class needs to be the largest group of people to begin with and that's what makes for a healthier economy, ultimately, and becomes closer to fairness in political decision-making through positive influence.
