I live in America, where 98% of voters would rather see a hundred billion dollars shipped off to another country's war than pay for their own health care.
In most races each party gets approximately 49%, so I think it's a pretty fair number. And, being that war and cost-prohibitive health care things for which there is complete bipartisanship, it's also fair to say that 98% of voters approve of it.

My entire country is the loudest, dumbest voice.

It's not about the money. It's about keeping the working class desperate and compliant.

For the price of a single Hellfire missile, an entire school could be renovated. Definitely enough for new desks, a coat of paint, and a computer lab.

Amen! It’s absolutely infuriating.

98% seems high.

Gallup polls 57% of Americans want government to ensure all Americans are provided with healthcare, so.... I dunno.

And yet they vote against that very thing every two years.

True. It's a shame so many people dont vote, and yet it seems the very worst people always vote.
