.@senatemajldr a family member applied to IRS for that $1200, 8 months ago (she was forced off work for 11 weeks in WA)

$1200 = $400 less than 1 of her paychecks

$1200 v. $17,600 missed salary

A letter arrived demanding $11,000 in unpaid taxes

Americans are feeling angry!

Meanwhile I applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance in June.

Finally got a case number on August 27th.

They sent me a debit card.

With zero balance.

As of Dec 16, 2020, not one dollar has come through.

Not one dollar.

I’ve been paying taxes since age 13 in 1985.

So to be frank, Senate Majority Leader, We the People really don’t care about the tired old “Republicans v Democrats” argument.

The powers that be shut this country down and our lives are 🤏🏼close to financial ruin. Mortgages are behind. Bills are unpaid.

We did not vote for

“lock downs”

No one, regardless of political views, had ANY say in it whatsoever

It is a massive over reaction

This is meant as friendly advice: there are 550 of you

330 million of us

And we are not happy

We all know the dollar is fiat. Better get some real aid out soon⏳

Again, with all due respect, Mr McConnel, you do understand that this country’s working class and middle class are somewhere between 1 day to maybe 6-8 weeks from being completely broke?

People who owned businesses 8 months ago are living on Dollar Store tuna. In all 50 states

If something REAL (not some BS gesture) is not done soon, the consumer markets and credit markets are going to collapse.

You do realize that MILLIONS are facing eviction next month when the Renters Exoneration expires?

You do realize that (as Gerald Celente infamously informs)

“People who lose everything and have nothing left to lose ... LOSE IT”

Pawn shops where I live have lines out the door. People are selling power tools, jewelery & heirlooms to eat or pay Visa.

Meanwhile you tweet

franky somewhat trite tweets about how it’s the democrats fault and they tweet the exact same thing about Republicans.

Mr McConnel I have been a Republican for 30 years.

Almost everyone I know is getting ready to abandon you and your party.

You fail to support our President

You embrace a man who obviously stole an election in front of the world and the part that chaps my hide is you live large off the sweat of our backs, your only concern: shall I have the filet or ribeye?

Meanwhile, We, the TAX BASE are being dehumanized & driven into poverty.

Lastly I doubt you’ll ever read or see these tweets but I wish to reiterate: this is by no means meant disrespectfully or as a threat:

What do you think people are going to do 3 months from now? How do you think hundreds of millions of destitute people who lost everything

through no fault of their own (myself included) how do you think we are all going to react if a thief is inaugurated, embarrassing us on the world stage and meanwhile the Dollar Store tuna money lessens to cat food money?

Does that sound like a country you want to live in,sir?

I say this with zero hyperbole: America is tottering on the brink. And I offer this criticism respectfully from a citizen to the Senate Majority Leader: remember George W Bush’s instructions post-9/11?

He said “Go out and shop. Spend money”

What happens, Mr McConnel when that

ball simply...stops rolling?

This is not hypothetical

It is REALITY

And we don’t have six more months to screw around

We probably have closer to six weeks

Anyhow I doubt you read these but God bless your Staffer who did.

Do the right thing, sir

God bless the Republic
END.
