Meanwhile I am the opposite of your leanings. I originally registered as Republican as anti-democrat policies with too many people wanting the government to GIVE them too much without them taking the time to earn whatever. I grew up in a lower middle class family. Couldn't afford college so went into the military. Did four years of that, more than 2 in VN but learned that being non-college at that time meant a lesser than great paying job so went into government service and due to foreign-language skills ended up having a great career. It took a lot of hard and dedicated work but family enjoyed moving from country to country around the world and was great for daughters' educations. However, after seeing Nixon being so crooked, I jumped from Republican to Independent but even so, the more politicians I see and read about, the more disappointed in their honesty to the US Constitutional laws against corruption and the Congress can't even come up with a valid anti-insider trading bill so we sure know where they stand on corruption within politics. Once they get in, they love the possible life-long career with insider trading enabling many to get rich which is impossible with just a government salary. Today, we even have a president who is the worse insider trading politician in the history of the US and who is more corrupt than any previous president. I worry for the future of the US and its citizens for sure with this administration. Best of luck to all reading this and hope they enjoy life in what is still consider to be a Paradise.
