It's called buying the Votes from people, who do not understand that they are being bought ! but down the track we will all be worse off for the games that are played by such cunning.
But a lot of people only live from day to day and that's as far as they can see. so they are Bought ! Woke ? What's Woks truly = Bought !
Oh yeah - some people understand, but understanding comes from the voice of the Lord (Prov 2:6) so most people don't understand the strategies of the devil - who will lie and do anything to get us to come into agreement with him.
I was talking to a nice not long ago, and she was telling me that "Democrats want to give you money!"
Ok, that is just silly. All politicians want power and money for themselves, unless perchance they want to follow Jesus Christ and are politicians because he asked them to run for office. And ironically, I am we are in California, where the Democrat rule, and they did give us some money back not long ago. My wife and I got $ 700, because they said that had a huge surplus. We got in on the Thursday before the Tuesday election with got Gov. Newsom and landslide victory. He had been forced into a run off election not too long before that. He won that challenge to him being governor, but not like he won the last election, where his party sent money to everyone, including me, right before the election.
And worse yet, it wasn't but a few months later that we then got the news that California is in serious debt!! Just the opposite of what we had been told before the money was sent to us because we had too much money.
Now I went on the internet to find out just how bad it is at the moment and it shows:
California government debt is about 145.03 billion U.S. dollars right now, and all that apparently since the vote for the land side victory that has him in office right now!!
And my niece is actually supposed to be a very smart lady. She got fantastic grades in engineering at UCSD, and has a great job at a well know tech company. But sadly, she doesn't know the Lord and so thinks the Democrats want to give us all money! And apparently, they want to make sure we don't pay very much for all we do buy, even though they ran up the US dept massively causing the highest inflation in 40 years.
As for me, I don't make much money in my business that I run. But I also don't have any debt, thanks to the Lord coming into my life. He got me out of that, but our country is getting into it.
Prov 13:13 The one who despises the word will be in debt to it,
But the one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
