re: When was the last time national politics directly effected you?

Besides infrastructure when was the last time, you had an issue caused by shoddy politicians?

The others mentioned taxes, healthcare and education so no need to drum those up but I'll add this it's more than just legislation, it's those appointed particularly in agencies you deal with.

Whenever an election takes place you can bet the appointed judges and heads of agencies will carry out the politicians will. You can bet your next paycheck those unelected bureaucrats will "reinterpret" past rulings and pass their own rulings. Ask the border states on having to report to the ATF firearms sales to individuals buying more than one gun. Ask anybody working in industry that has to deal with the EPA. That's just 2 of the too numerous to list agencies.

You may not be directly affected per se, but you will be affected indirectly in every aspect that they have control over. That's why national elections have national consequences.
