Only the rich will have leisure time & nice things. The rest of us will work 2-3 jobs till we drop. Our government has been hijacked by people who plan to use it to serve themselves. And the People voted for this. Not all of us, but enough that the GOP was able to lie, cheat & steal their way into power, & usurp our government.
