There's alot of chat about beliefs but seldom clear "cost policy" it's a joke I think local polititians rely alot of voter disengagement to do what they want to.

Many people are simply apathetic to politics because they feel it won't affect them. But it's exactly the opposite. Politics can affect every aspect of your life as a citizen and unless you get involved, you'll be losing out on a lot of things whether you realize it or not. Votes really do count. It’s so true.

They never keep their promises and their greed for power always causes a lot of economic instability and near civil wars. I prefer looking at global politics and government because these seem to be going in a certain general direction the politics in the country are so complicated that i gave up trying to make sense of it.

The better idea might be to figure out what their beliefs are and vote for the person with the belief system that is most similar to yours. At least this way, you will have a better chance that future policies will be shaped in a way you can agree with.

Unfortunately, it's not the way I vote that has the consequences, it's the way the majority votes, which is not usually the way I vote.... :( So I have to deal with the liberal tax increases that I don't want.... whether I voted for them or not. But that's the way it works. So when everyone else votes themselves a piece of the pie, continually, (instead of what is good for the nation) one day they are going to come to a rude awakening, when those who make the pies stop making them as there is NOTHING in it anymore for the pie maker.... and that's where the USA is headed.... sorry to say. “the way you vote can have clear consequences for your personal finances.”

And that includes more than just listening to sound bites from one side or the other. Once you really know about the issues, you can start making decisions and supporting candidates and organizations that really can help you make a difference in your finances.
