A note about the use of “raising all boats” as campaign rhetoric

Learn how creating more water applies to this election and vote accordingly.

And the way to solve that problem is not to cut up the boat of another guy and give you part of it. You’ll both end up sinking :P

On the more literal tip, the boats these politicians refer to are *us*. If you breathe, you have a boat.
