Rich are profiting from the poor

Free enterprise — the business gives the citizens a good reasonable price — they get no help from the government. The rich lobbyists are not legal — they make laws against the people for their own good. They do not care what it costs us as long as they get rich off our labor. They would not get rich if they had to build the home.

Free enterprise — the business gives the citizens a good reasonable price — they get no help from the government.

The rich lobbyists are not legal — they make laws against the people for their own good. They do not care what it costs us as long as they get rich off our labor. They would not get rich if they had to build the home.

Instead they stay back and let the people wear out their bodies for them.

Instead of lobbyists spending their time making laws against us, they should help the citizens to keep our voted representatives honest and to look out for the people – not the rich.

Don’t the rich realize they wouldn’t be rich without the worker?

Like developer Bill Floten going against the environment.

Every time a builder cuts down a tree or tears up the grass, we have will have flooding.

Kent is known to have had flooding. The levees stopped that, but they can only help if the rich man quits destroying our land.

Most builders have out taxed most big cities so they move into other cities to destroy that city.

We have no land left for roads – our tax dollar goes to the builder to build buildings that my tax dollar pays for.

I remember when a business came to the city – they had to build the roads and buildings in order to build in this city.

Our taxes were never meant to build buildings for the rich and destroy our sewers and water and roads. Once they do this, they go move onto another city.
