6. He uses the words of George Carlin to explain the difference.

Conservatives care about profit, they care about property.

Liberals care about people. They want to see the benefit to society.

Example: Repubs sold AZ land, including water rights, to the Saudis. The emergency water fund was based on aquifers on those lands and now there's historic drought. The Saudis will be selling what was AZ's own water back to AZ for a profit. The long term future of the children of AZ was sold for short term gain.

Another example was that in TX Repubs sold the largest refinery (Port Arthur) to the Saudis.

Also discussed the cost of insulin.

He ends with saying that if you voted for Republicans, then have the day you deserve.

If you can listen to the source, that would be better. This is just the gist.

Thanks for posting this, JHB.
