I liked Charles Richardson's article
proposing that people vote in both primaries.
I watched Heath Clark and Cullen Talton
discuss issues on channel 13. Heath Clark proposed getting rid of
property taxes and state income taxes and move to a fair tax based on
sales.
What disturbed me is that no one says
to maintain services like law enforcement and public schools, that
fair tax will be anywhere from ten to twenty percent in addition to
the present sales tax. Both men know this. They have to say what they
need to say to be elected.
The tea party's initial infrastructure
was founded and funded by the Koch brothers. The Koch brother's
influence on Governor Deal is why 650,000 Georgians who are entitled
to medicaid are being denied and rural hospitals are closing. Some of
the frailest citizens in Georgia have to pay the price.
If the electorate were more moderate,
Nathan Deal would be more moderate. For every conservative, there is
a liberal. Then there are three or four moderates like me who have to
choose between the lesser of two evils and don't vote according to
one issue only.
All the competition was removed for
Georgia employees and teacher's insurance. It was all awarded to Blue
Cross/Blue Shield and is administered in Texas. Blue
Cross/Blue Shield is the Republican Governor's organization second largest donor. Maybe the
voice of the moderate should speak louder than a billionaire's or corporation's money.
