He's a millionaire so his basic needs have been met several times over.
-A child tax credit is meaningless to him
-Lower drug costs are meaningless to him
-Student loan forgiveness is meaningless to him
-more money in Medicare is meaningless to him.
-home buyer tax credits? Yup meaningless.
His material conditions are not the same as a regular person's. 50,000 to you is life changing money. To him it's the equivalent of a new pair of pants and a shirt. His concept of economic value is not the same, his struggles are not the same.
When you vote at the municipal level, you're voting for zoning laws that can change your access to housing and fix those districts that were ruined by redlining. You also vote to protect your neighborhood from gentrification.
When you vote at a state level, you're voting to get access to federal funding to expand construction of new housing, more funding for your local schools, and green infrastructure which means JOBS for you and your family.
When you vote at a federal level, you're voting for how the vast amount of tax revenue collected every year will be distributed, specifically which existing programs will be boosted and which new ones can be created. Black people have been harmed economically for generations, if you have a white supremacist mayor, he won't fix your zoning laws. If you have a white supremacist governor, he won't use state funds to give to local non profits currently helping to prevent evictions because rent just went up in a gentrifying neighborhood.
We apparently need to bring school house rock back because people really don't seem to know how their government works and will confidently just say how ignorant they are to the camera. Wild shyt.
If ice cube actually gave a shyt, his political engagement would be year round and he'd be traveling to all 50 states to meet with black non profits currently feeding kids, helping them go to college, and providing medical care to families that don't have it. He'd be meeting with mayors, senators, and other elected officials on all levels to be asking them if they understand what the local black population is going through and asking them what they're doing to alleviate that.
Instead he'd rather sit in his mansion and ignore comments debunking his talking points while he makes the same kind of video every election season.
