I have an idea. All elected officials should only get the percentage of their salary and benefits that they received of the vote. You won with 40% of the vote? You only get 40% of your salary and benefits.
When calling his office in DC, his staffers argue, saying that everything trump is doing is Constitutional. I asked "even defying court orders?" Crickets🤬

One also wonders what his net worth is? Did it rise as much as Sinemas? When elected in AZ her net worth was $39K. She left with $11M. How she managed that on $174K is amazing.
If we are going to end dependency on the welfare system, then we need to end ALL dependency on the welfare system. Members of Congress need to buy their own health care. They need to lose pay when the government shuts down, because they didn't pass a budget.
They also need to lose lobbyist money. End citizens united. I guarantee if we end up in another civil war, there will be no concessions like last time.
People don’t vote or vote party lines (R) and they and their families will suffer greatly because of it. Things will get really bad. What happens when their kids can’t see a doctor, and grandma has to move in because she can’t afford her nursing home? Pain and suffering will wake people up.
Think about healthcare providers too. How much business will they lose when these people cannot buy healthcare. In some regions and for some providers, this loss of revenue could force them to close. No healthcare for anyone in those areas if that happens. Healthcare deserts will grow even bigger
The sad part is he more than likely feels no shame about it. The GOP recently advised their members to discontinue town halls because the REPUBLICANS in the audience are pissed off and vocal about why.
I'm sure Mr Burlison will eagerly heed that GOP advice.
This is an excellent video. I always paid my taxes in the hope those less fortunate would get help. These pigs at the trough got to go. This guy is the worst type of welfare bum. A person who does nothing for his own people.
If "GOP" is concerned about deficits, Debt, & interest on the Debt,
Why would they gift a $4.5T Tax Cut for the Rich?
Tax Cuts for the Rich DO NOT PAY FOR THEMSELVES.
The Rich pocket the money & don't work harder,
because like mythical "welfare queens", they don't need to.
No TC4R/Rich work harder!
We need to start calling them temporary federal employees. If he wants medicaid benefits dissolved, he should introduce a $25.00 an hour minimum wage and mandatory insurance benefits.
I called his office yesterday even though I don’t live in his district. When the young man answering the phone said that, I said “I don’t care. Every very dumb thing he does affects everyone in this state.” 😒🤬
Yup- this is why I stopped many many years ago of voting for any Republican! I used to sometimes make the mistake of voting split ticket decades ago , but I was younger & more naive then.
And unfortunately we have quite a few of these jackasses in office especially in the red states. It’s appalling that so many care not at all about the welfare of others
Springfield here 💙 I want to encourage people If you're even thinking about running for office, check in your area. If you're in missouri, many of the slots on the ballot only have republicans running!
I'm 72 so I don't think it's fair that I do it, but I encourage you 'younguns'!!
RUN FOR OFFICE
He also dropped a national abortion ban bill! To them life begins at conception and ends at first breath. Number one reason cited for abortion is financial. Forcing babies to be born just to strip away their healthcare and not care if they starve or their family has basic resources is sadistic!
I live in his district and I worked with Eric for many years. We were colleagues and I respected him. Then he went full MAGA. He’s a disgusting human being now and I regret every kind word I’ve said to and about him.
we need to make videos and clips on every single congressperson voting this way. play it over and over. take this info directly to the people who vote against their own interests. have them at the ready when you're standing next to someone spouting off about welfare fraud and draining the swamp
Thank you, Jess.
If I had money, I would buy add space on FOX and run this piece for a whole week during their peak hours.
The FOX crowd needs to hear it.
Unfortunately all federal congressional representatives should only receive the median income for the country. State representatives should only receive their state's median income. They shouldn't get medical or financial benefits.
We need to make term limits for all representatives as well!
I currently live in MO and I despise this jackass! Have you noticed how fat this fucker has become since getting into office? It takes balls todo the things he does!
Jess— do those constituents hear this? Do they get it now? Will they remember come voting time? I fear they’ll be so deep in survival struggle it won’t reach them. Here’s hoping you reach and activate them.
Explained well. Some people don't understand what medicade is. But a lot will sure find out when it's gone. Medicade has been & is a life saver literally for millions of people.
Burlison is a liar or just ignorant —probably both.
FACT: 92% of adult #Medicaid recipients under 65 are working full or part-time (64%), or not working due to caregiving responsibilities, illness or disability, or school attendance (and not receiving SSI, SSDI, or disability benefits). https://KFF.org
Medicaid income limits are different for every state. Red states typically make the upper end much lower than in Blue states 🤦♀️
Red States have more ppl per capita on Medicaid than in Blue States.
When they dump ppl off Medicare red congress members tend to get fired.
Just like Trump, they point fingers at everyone else to deflect from themselves. I wonder if he gave Elon his list of 5 things he did? He probably forgot he is a federal worker who works for the people of the United States of America, not Trump.
So you’re telling me he was on public assistance for 17 years with his family what not whatever and now he voted to take away the one thing that help him for 17 years?🤨
I don’t understand the motivation behind this sort of move. Are these people actually sadists? They drone on endlessly about making America great but seem in reality to just work at making it much worse for all but the super rich.
Missouri takes in more federal money than it contributes in taxes on the order of 31.8% in 2022.
Maybe there should be a 31.8% cut in Missouri's federal grants.
Truth!!
As someone who's on supplemental disability, trying to feed my 3 boys, keep a roof over our heads, child support has been inconsistent since Oct due to a worldwide payment system. I can't accept gift money to help, I have to report it. But these people can legally steal from us.
You are 100% correct. What a jackass. How soon are the people of Missouri going to wake up to what is being taken away from them? Keep up your fine work and know that there are many of us who value it highly. Cheers! Linda proud graduate of Truman High School, 1968. Harry would be horrified.
I live in his district. It blows my mind how many people here are on Medicaid, and either voted for him or didn’t bother to vote at all. 🤯This will unfortunately affect the disabled and children in this district.
I was down there campaigning for Missy. I can’t believe an educated woman with solid plans for the district was soundly beaten by a grifter like Eric. But I get it, Sam Graves is my representative.😭
I went to a democrats meeting, where she talked to the group. My husband and I were so impressed by her. She had a plan, she cares about the people in her district. I think one of the biggest hurdles in this district, is apathetic non-voters.
Neither do measles, Covid, Long-Covid, infuenza & infections that turn bad, injuries, accidents etc etc. Good but expensive vacx against shingles. Have taken two! Seen pics, looks nasty & painful!
It’s not only very painful, my hubby had nerve damage to his face and one side drooped for 18 mos. Luckily it came back. 50/50 chance it could have been permanent
Great job Ms. Piper! You spell it out in dollars and cents for those who don’t have the understanding of how REPUBLICANS are keeping working families in poverty.
This is a state where people vote against their own interests continuously. They voted to legalize abortion rights. It passed, yay. But, they also voted in all the red fucks who are now cooking up legislation to to get rid of that right. The people spoke! That phrase matters not to them.
Primary him AS a republican then after election...change to independent. That or keep the republican brand and just keep siding with the democrats. We have fools who "say" they are democrats but like that loser sinema, sided with the gop.

Real ‘Murkans ain’t never votin’ for some uppity woman to tell us manly men what ta do.
But somehow guys with that mentality always find a woman who wants to marry them.
Can’t quite understand it, myself, but there it is.
BTW, he's not a jackass, he's an ASSHOLE!!

Less than $22,000 a year.
Last year I was told I made too much money and was no longer entitled to Medicaid.
I was $100 over.
Americans are struggling to survive, while billionaires want to take what little we have.
Your oppression is their profession.
Sadly, MO is not on board.
I would go a bit raunchier 😎 But I do appreciate your video!

He’s the total POS that kicked the first leg out from under the table
They’ll vote republican until the day they die.
Yikes😳
“According to available data, the majority of people in the top 1% of wealth in the United States are White, making up around 96% of this group”
Yes,
MAGA 🍎 it’s about RACE
and Money 💰
We need much more of this…
Call them out for what they are…
Hypocritical parasites.
Thank you for speaking truth to power all day long every day, and helping other people do the same.
