And it features an African-American man standing in line to vote and two white men glaring at them. The African-American man is dressed up in low class clothes. He took off his hat when he puts his vote in the glass ballot box. A white man lined up behind the…

Marco Rubio’s recent actions and statements point to a change in his invented ethos. Rubio is a well-known and respected Senator who represents the state of Florida.

Even Though this is a miraculous fact, it does not matter in today's political climate. In order to get his political agenda pushed and his tax reform passed, he must give the democratic party something they want. The easiest stipulation to let go within this proposed reform…
