No, you won't. You'll vote for the person you think has your best interests at heart and you'll ignore the real issues. You'll vote based on assumptions, half-truths and misinformation. You'll vote selfishly, but you'll also vote in such a way that forces others to be unselfish. They have no choice but to ignore their best interests and you'll vote, selfishly, that you're entitled to what they've worked for. Disgusting.
We've the choice between two evils. Neither is lesser. In this instance, there is no proper vote. There is no rational, logical vote if one believes in true rights, in the idea that no man shall ever be subservient to another. The country has problems that no politician can truly solve as long as long as the current joke of "checks and balances" continues. Do you really think the Supreme Court can strike down a lucrative tax when the country is trillions in the hole?
The problems are regulation and taxation. The problem is that people think the emergency room is a doctor's office. The problem is that people have no respect for one another and regard bills as someone else's problem, as the rich trying to bilk the poor out of their hard-earned money. The problem is that individualism is being phased out for collectivism, and that collectivism is not voluntary and the mere fact that one is born here is consent enough to this immoral contract. The problem is that we feel we can continue writing checks we cannot afford because we are forced to be our brothers' keeper.
Profit is good for the health care industry. Profit is reinvestment, is research and development, is infrastructure. Profit lines pockets, yes, but profit also yields systems like hand-wash station cameras to ensure compliance with sanitary protocols and reduce infection rates. It is in the interest of profit that hospitals improve, as a hospital with lower accidental death rates is a hospital more people can trust for treatment as well as a hospital with a lower legal bill each month. Hilarious aside- businesses have set aside $1.4 trillion in cash reserves due to the uncertainty our fearless leaders have sailed us into. That money is not being invested in either their companies or inflation-hedging vehicles. They're foregoing the potential revenues of investment for the sake of safety.
This election isn't a choice between a taker and a giver, or a warrior and a pacifist or a noble teacher versus an ignoble fund manager. This election is between big government and bigger government, and we simpletons are practically forced to not only accept but endorse that which will ultimately destroy us.
TL;DR- If you're uninformed, underinformed or just plain stupid, please don't vote. You will help nothing by contributing your opinion and you'll encourage the bastards.
My apologies about the ranting nature of this post.
