From Cris Ericson:

Cris Ericson explains why Progressive Party voters should give her a write-in vote on the 2024 primary election ballot in Vermont, where there is no candidate listed for United States Senator.

Cris Ericson explains how your paycheck has federal taxes deducted and they go to the IRS, and then the U.S. Congress votes to give your tax dollars to the NIH, the Pentagon, and huge corporations as subsidies. Your tax dollars are used to make products like prescription drugs and defense products and microchips, which are sold worldwide for billions of dollars in profits for the pharmaceutical corporations, the defense corporations, and the multi-nation mega corporations - who are all making their profits based on the fact that the United States Congress voted to give them YOUR hard earned tax dollars, BUT YOU ARE NOT GETTING A SHARE OF THE PROFITS, you are getting no return on investment of your tax dollars. THIS HAS TO STOP.
