Feb 2015

Everyone knows the GOP could care less about the middle and lower class. It's undeniable. For them to come out now and say the want a thriving middle class, is just another lie. They're good about lying and have proven it over and over. And to allow Citizens United to take place, just confirms how crooked the SC is. The flood gates are now open. The oligarchs are making every effort to buy this country.

My biggest fear is losing the next presidency. If that happens, God help us all. Imagine where we'd be today if they were in control now. No ACA for 10 million people(I'm one of those 10m people), privatized Social Security, removal of Medicare, no equal righst marriage, we'd most likely be in at least 2 more wars, etc..... I could go on and on.

In the meantime, they are pushing for income inequality(in their favor) and spending our money for unsubstantiated wars. They love it that we all suffer as they bask in their glory.

It's quite sickening.
