I often talk about how important it is to vote and how it can impact your pocketbooks. Here is a clear example of how voting for the wrong politician can impact your life. Joe Biden was elected by his constituents to make their lives better. Instead, Joe Biden has repeatedly voted against the best interest of the American people. In this particular case, Joe Biden sides with corporations in bankruptcy bill.
Prior to becoming the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden had a chance to ratify bankruptcy laws so that it helped Americans. Instead he worked hand in hand with the corporations to write the bill to make it more impossible for Americans to include student loan and medical bill in bankruptcy.
Why would Joe Biden do this? Why would he support a bill that helps corporations instead of the American people? It's actually quite simple, he voted for the bill (and money other bills that help corporations) because his political career has been financed by those same corporations. Follow the money. He has no incentive to structure bills to help Americans. Since his political career is privately financed, he has and will continue to serve private interests instead of the public.
While Joe Biden's career has been riddled with votes like the bankruptcy bill one, his career is just a microcosms of the American political system. The financing of the current political system seems to be the problem. The best thing you can do is to vote for politicians that want to eradicate the current political system. Doing so, will ensure that politicians respond to their constituents instead of the big money interests.
