Anti-Incumbency

Today is election day. On the table in Massachusetts are a battle for Governor, as well as an opportunity to lower the sales tax and repeal a tax on alcohol.

Our votes to do not necessarily become law - our thoughts are merely tallied, hastily organized and passed onto our State Government, who will ultimately give them a quick glance, toss it onto the flame, and continue to do whatever they want.

This year I voted against everyone who was up for re-election. Career-politicians should not exist and We create them. They dig in deep and line the pockets of friends and relatives.

Keeping a swift turnover would help prevent or at least minimize this abuse that seems to be a built-in part of politics. Hopefully.

This has nothing to do with parties. Both sides are the same.
