The use of a prank call to get to the core of all this – which about 60% of Americans already knew – is a nit on a flea compared to the underhanded game the billionaire Koch brothers are playing in league with Republican Governors using the debt to bust unions that across the board.
What happened in the election last November had much to do with off year elections and Tea Party racism directed toward the White House. But the size and scope of the victory – which we got a front row taste of with the world of the Koch Brothers this week (the third and forth richest men in American who INHERITED their money through UNEARNED INCOME) is because of the Supreme Court decision in Citizen’s United. This was the first election that corporations could give Republicans as much as they wanted for campaign advertising, and boy did they ever.
Anyone who voted for Republicans and lost their job, their house or their health insurance tough crap pal, you should have known better. Same goes for any Democrat who was too lazy and stayed home on election day.
What has happened over the past 2 years would be hilarious if so many WELL MEANING people had not lost so much and are now in such dire straights.
Wealthy Republicans for a generation have refused to pay their fair share of taxes, even in a time of war, which is unprecedented. Just that in itself has caused the national debt to triple under Ronald Reagan and double under W. Bush.
Wealthy individuals and corporations then lobbied Republicans for the deregulation of the financial industries which caused the worst recession in American history.
As the poor, the working poor and the middle class suffered, Wealthy Republicans got their bonuses and golden parachutes, enjoy all the health care and pensions they can eat with their portfolios rising higher in the past two years than in any two year time period before.
And who do the American people blame? Mexicans, Muslims, what little is left of the unions, teachers, fireman, snowplow drivers, women and children who are required to pay the price wealthy Republicans have refused to pay.
I have spend 30 years now trying to find ONE GOOD THING a Republican has done in that time. Something nice, or kind, or fair or good. I have been unable to find anything other than them handing out 30 round clips at the Walmart.
And what should scare your pants off, is there are non wealthy people out there stupid enough to vote for these nasty selfish bastards. Really! I am not Kidding.
