Move around the country and youre going to see fatalities rise in other states. We believe in personal responsibility, Individual Amer
To help estimate a number. Many times throughout american history the question of how many jellybeans are in a jar has been a racist tool of oppression. In 1890 mississippi lawmakers gathered in jackson to find a way around the 15th Amendment which gave africanamericans the right to vote. The white judge who presided put the matter bluntly. We came here to exclude the negro. Nothing short will answer. The mississippi lawmakers adopted two measures to make voting all but impossible for black people in mississippi. One was a poll tax. You had to bring the equivalent of 58 in Todays Money to vote. The other was a literacy test. Registrars could ask arbitrary questions to decide if prospective voters were smart enough to vote.

We have the lowest unemployment for africanamericans and minorities. Deregulation allowed businesses to prosper. The opening of the Keystone Pipeline aloud us to be energy independent, and a net exporter of gas. Tax cuts allowed americans to take more money home.
