Holy shit.
Fuck you, Cruel, Greedy Republicans.
fixed that* for you, MA.
* obviously not all Republicans are like that...
but
too many are.
It's "I got mine" (too bad about you)
[In Clance Thomases case it's "I got help through certain government rules" , but now I' m going to pull up the ladder behind me...]
Or a"I'm a self-made (usually) man".
"Nobody gave me a hand out, or help"
So what about your public roads, public schools, public libraries, public utilities, public transportation, improved weather forecasting through Science, NOAA, NASA,
safer foods through Govt food inspection etc, Etc , ETC....
"Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society"
(Last year the Republican governor of my state, Iowa, decided to privatize our state healthcare program. Shocker of shockers, it's a complete mess now thanks to him, and a lot of people are pissed.
But hey, who cares about people's health, right? Limited government//private sector can handle it all, and all that jazz.)
Oh MA
Since I listen to Public Radio I do hear about stuff around our nation, international etc...
But when there was Air America Radio you
really got to hear even more dedicated reports and call-ins from affected people in Red States who'd lost this and that help.
They covered all the shit happening with Scott Walker among other austerity type Republicans.
Air America was still on I think earlier in Obama's Administration...
and parts of ACA need some tweaking (along w taking over-greedy Health Insurance companies to the woodshed which would stem the steep increase in hci premiums)...
....and omg, callers would tell how they
finally were able to get coverage because of the subsidies, or the preexisting
conditions Ban was
lifted, etc !?!
If you didn't hear there a report saying that many charities got more $ than usual for fear of what The Republicans are going to do.
