Do I have this right?

We are improving border security by forcing all the border guards to work for free?

Do I have that right?

its like when the nurses go on strike to improve "patient safety" or the teachers go on strike for "the children"

I suppose the problem is - the rich guys have more money to buy politicians than the middle class does - maybe

I wonder how much total wealth is held by the top 1% vs the other 99% ?

but the middle class should wake up at some point and stop voting for guys who just make the filthy rich filthier - not matter how much the rich guys spend on buying politicians
