Political Spending is how many multiples of the Living Wage in the United States 08 08 2018



$23,050.00 10.6      2174.5283018868
$30,465.14 14.01
$64,540.00 29.68

A living wage in California is Considered to be $14.01 dollars per hour which by the $23,050.00 to $10.60 algebraic conversion factor works out to be $30,465.14 a year.  For one adult and one child it $29.68 an hour or about $64,540.00 per year.

I can't readily find the statistics about how much is spent in total in the United States.  Meaning, Governors, Mayors, Judges, Senators, Congressmen, Sheriffs etc.  But  $6.8 Billion was spent on the 2016 Election for President.

The total number must be lot higher than that.

But just start to think of what those numbers mean?  It is really spent to preserve wealth isn't it!  Doesn't it make you sick that a wealthy employer would rather give money to a political candidate than his employees?  $6.8 Billion?

Do you know what I think when I see that number?  There is no greater evidence that wealth should be redistributed in the United States than the rich using that much money in that fashion!

So lets divide that out $6,800,000,000.oo/ $30,465.14=223,205 jobs!

Just think about it.  The best way to create jobs is what?  Think about it?

We have Political Leadership that is completely irresponsible.  What "Clown School" did you graduate from?
