It's important for us to vote in mid-term off year elections in the times where state legislators and mayors offices are being vacated. These are the elections that actually impact the way we live oftentimes more than the President. So we have to pay attention to those things as well.
We're seeing a new 'Gilded Age,' where inheritance is a deciding factor in who becomes the wealthiest.
