Recently I saw a post on social media probably from right wing shrills or bots in Black face saying things like: "The truth is that voting is nothing more than INTELLECTUAL MASTRABATION . . . you get to get your vote off, but when it is all over and said if our true needs and wants are not spoken to as a BLACK PEOPLE!"
You know it is economic suicide not to vote. Black people are probably forced to pay about $300 billion dollars a year in taxes based on a yearly aggregate income estimated to be about $1.3 trillion a year.
How smart is it for us to pay around $300 billion in taxes a year and not get a return on our investment? That makes no sense whatsoever!
What we need to do is vote in more people starting locally that can control our governmental budgets and make sure Black businesses get more government contracts, jobs, and grants for community organizations. Black communities like Atlanta, Houston, and Queens NYC have middle and upper middle class Black communities because they have Black politicians that make the local governments get the Black community more government contracts and jobs.
BTW if you do research you will see more recessions are experienced under the GOP especially the last 40 years, which adversely impacts the Black community economically. Not voting is political and more profoundly economic suicide because the federal government budget is about a few trillion dollars a year and little of that money will go to the Black community if we don't vote and control politics on different levels.
