Come sit down beside me I said to myself
And although it doesn't make sense
I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
And together I sat on the fence
Anon. Very anon.
Why did folks vote to keep Obama and add a few more Dems this election?
Because time and again whenever the right takes power, they begin by bloating the defense budget, cutting taxes for the top percentages so that all the advantages go to the wealthy ruling class of bankers, corporate CEOs and their lobbyists, while working/middle class folks are told: nothing is free, there is no obligation to provide any safety net, you are on your own and no one owes you anything, no matter how hard you work.
You don’t need a minimum wage, minimum health care insurance, a safe workplace, clean environment, old age pension or an education if you can’t provide those things at prevailing market prices on your own.
Why? Because we interpreted the constitution for you (we know your education was minimal) and those things aren’t in there. Including any guarantee of help saving your house from being burned down to the ground.
Think that’s fantasy? I don’t have to go far to dig up quotes from moon-bat candidates like Palin, Angle, Miller, Buck, O’Donnell, and Paladino. Or politicians like DeMint, Cornyn, McConnell, McCain, Cheney, and so on…
And I’m still waiting to hear what it is conservatism has done to benefit America, or what ideas and/or achievements they have that they didn’t steal credit for from democrats and progressives.
