How much is your vote worth ?

Using the last Presidential election as a gauge… where 126 million votes were cast and 106 million eligible voters — DID NOT VOTE ! .. and FIVE MILLION votes separated the winner from the loser..

It is estimated that this Presidential election that there were be 2.5 billion dollars will be spent to win a four year term that pays 400,000/yr salary..

Presuming that the same number will vote..  that would put the cost of getting one vote at abt $20.00

Let’s admit it… some people would vote a straight Democratic or Republican ticket.. even if  Goofy was at the “top of the ticket”.  For some, it isn’t about what is right or wrong for the country and its citizens.. it is all about politics.

When you really look at the numbers… the 5 million votes.. between winner and loser are only the votes that really mattered… in fact… if half of the votes had changed their votes… the outcome of the election would have been different…

So when it come down to the bottom line .. the 2.5 million votes that really determine the outcome of the election cost abt $1000 EACH..

There are 106 million chronic painers… not to count the number of others with subjective diseases that are being SCREWED WITH… not to mention all the healthcare providers that DEA/CDC/FDA are SCREWING WITH…  If those could UNITE and become their own VOTING BLOCK…  the politicians could spend the ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET (abt FOUR TRILLION) and could not be enough to change the outcome of the election that did not match the wishes of the “pained lives matter” voting block..cryingeyevote

  1. well i think we all know we are SCREWED IF HILLARY GETS IN…JUST SAYING…and we need to get rid of the obamacare… sorry its a joke and things are worse and IT ISNT AFFORDABLE… sorry over 600 a month for a family of two that only makes 20000 (gross) ISNT AFFORDABLE!!

  2. How do we know who to vote for and vote against? It seems that this opiodphobia is bipartisan. And voting the incumbents out and newbies in doesn’t necessarily solve the problem either. And, I will not vote for a Democrat as long as their party platform includes abortions for all! I believe that abortion is murder. My point being I suppose I have to choose which is more important to me.

    • 90%+ of the incumbents expect to get re-elected… as long as that per-cent doesn’t change.. they will be comfortable in what they are doing.. only 50% – OR LESS – gets reelected… it will get their attention.. that should make them more attentive to what the voters in their congressional district says… they put them into office… they can take them out of office in 2 yrs. Most likely… they will shift their position on issues – even in conflict with their respective party… because they want to keep getting reelected. You can send letters,faxes, emails to those in office for years and they will reply with letters that will read that they agree with your point of view….but when it comes to a vote.. they will most likely vote the party line.. Charles Schumer has been in Congress since 1981.. after 35 yrs.. do you think that he is very comfortable in how he votes and what he votes for ?

  3. Excellent point. Getting this voting bloc to join together is like herding cats. That has been the problem.

    • You know what they do when you have too many cats… they herd what they can and euthanize them.. while pain never killed anyone… UNTREATED pain does frequently and as more and more chronic pain pts are denied adequate or any pain management at all.. but who is going to have the BALLS to call what is happening… is a form of GENOCIDE. As a country we condemn other countries in their human rights violation and yet we our own Federal government participates in and apparently condones such human rights violations and the resulting – unnecessary – deaths
