And not just because they exist but because they are in control of our country.
After the terrible and disastrous Reagan Tax cuts. Then the truly terrible Bush tax cuts. And now the truly horrendous Trump Tax cuts?
See, I have no problem with tax cuts as long as they help the middle class and the poor, but these aren't even disguised. They are simply the greatest redistribution of wealth in the history of mankind from the middle class and the poor to the super wealthy. And they don't even try to hide it.
GOP donors said they wanted these tax cuts or they would cut off payments to their bought political hacks.
And the way the GOP rationalizes such behavior? Makes one wonder what kind of people make up the entire Republican Party.
You know that Social Security and Medicare are next. Even the GOP leadership hasn't tried to hide that.
They attack children by going after school lunches, children's healthcare, daycare and food stamps for poor children. Who does that? As infant mortality rises among such places as Appalachia, which covers 13 GOP states, they cry about abortion. How can you use abortion as an issue when your own children are dying? Who does that?
Republicans also have Medicaid in their sights. Taking down medicaid would leave an untold number of the elderly and the disabled living in the street if they don't have families to help them survive.
This is how tyrants begin. Go after the vulnerable, children, the elderly and the disabled. Then there's the propaganda used to convince the population what is happening is for their own good. We see that with Fox News. The voter suppression. Turning Americans against each other. The worship of the wealthy. The use of religion to advance evil policies. The racism.
And the one thing that wins? Education. And now Republicans are convinced that education is bad for America.
The country is in a deep struggle. Republicans have to be defeated or the US will end up being a very, very different country.
