In fact ironically the above headline is a quote from David Stockman (who was Ronald Regan's budget director). The best reason to vote today is that the American ultra rich have declared class warfare on the American working class. One thing they're afraid of is one person one vote. Don't let the plutocrats owned elite media demoralize you into staying home.

"In 1985, the top five percent of the households, wealthiest five percent, had net worth of $8 trillion, which is a lot. Today, after serial bubble after serial bubble, the top five percent have net worth of $40 trillion," he explained.

"The top five percent have gained more wealth than the whole human race had created prior to 1980." (David Stockman)
