If you understood basic economics you would see that this is a tactical approach to getting our elected leaders to do what needs to be done. I have something they want/need. They have the power to affect change the way that me and a lot of other people want. Its called bargaining. If they want what we have, our consent, then they have to earn it. Don't they like to call this country a meritocracy? We know they won't keep their promises after they get our vote. they don't need us after that so why would I so easily give up the only bargaining chip I have when there is no sign they will perform
