GOP Treason - The Pillaging And Ransacking Of The Nation

[TheMastersNemesis]

Reagan was a real devil because he started a process that allows big business to pillage and ransack the nation at will. We are witnessing the draining of our nation because of the GOP and its business allies. Our natural resources are being exported to our potential enemies. It is not just jobs but our heritage.

In the 1980's and 1990's millions upon millions of redwood trees were exported to China, India, Japan and other nations for processing as our mills shut down. Our manufacturing jobs were exported and our factories now turn to rust and dust. Now in the 21st century our oil and our natural gas will be exported overseas because it will make more profit and drive prices up here.

Then there is the water rights that will be sold off to a thirsty world under privatization. Think your water is safe if you local water supply is sold to corporations. You better pay attention. Even now 15 million Texans are under water restrictions and 30 towns will be without water soon as fracking operations drain 8 million gallons of water per well. Water is being trucked all across Texas as aquifers are being drained (which dries up surface water).

And the insult to injury is that a lot of that "cracked" natural gas will be exported overseas creating a shortage here. And you know what that means.

Yes and Democrats are to blame to some extent as well. But what are Dems to do?. When a Dem runs on an environmental and real conservation agenda and a pro worker pro union agenda they get their ass whipped by a pro business pro exporting anti worker GOPPER.

1. Basically true.

They are destroying this country.

2. Bigge theft was gutting pensions and looting capital from companies so they went bankrupt

Essentially all those everage buyouts drained the capital from companies so they can longer survice and the bankster pocketed the moeny.

In the 80's and 90's when the stock markets were rising the fraudstes said 'we don't ned to fund the pensions at the rate we have been doing, let's take that as executive bonuses'. End result is now underfunded pensions, but the fraudsters aren't giving bck what they stole.

Oh yeah, then there is also the tax cut for the wealthy,

and then there is, well the list goes on....

3. Is it a runaway train?

If I had kids - I would be insisting they learn foreign languages so they could move to another country. My brother just got back from Norway. He said people there are HAPPY!! They don't sit around talking about their hates and fears.They have low unemployment, high wages, universal healthcare, strong social security, and subsidized higher education.

This country has lost its way and there are many citizens greasing the skids for the ransacking because they hate having a black president. That is truly lost.

(Our local port is thriving on sending Douglas Fir logs to China.)

4. Reagan also lowered the top tax rate, eliminating the virtual cap on income, and...

...allowing so many of the richest americans to eventually get so unbelievably rich and thus much more powerful than ever. We have to deal with Rupert Murdoch, the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, and others because of this lowering of the top tax rate. The top tax rate was supposed to discourage excessive wealth building.

5. Actually very little of that gas will be exported. Asia has no infrastructure to accept it.

No infrastructure worth mentioning and on top of that although its located in isolated areas China has a lot more natural gas than any other country - if you can believe their estimates, which many do not.
