Conservatives Pushing Austerity In Europe Are Connected To the Billionaires Pushing It Here ----

What the American voter does not get and is not being told is that austerity that is now in effect in Europe is the same austerity the GOP wants here. They count on the fact that people who like their bible and guns and vote family values will vote for politicians who want to take away middle class benefits for the benefit of the same billionaires who desire to pay NO taxes.

When a GOP politicians yells we are becoming like Europe it is code for making the US exactly like Europe when it comes to "austerity". American voters are ignorant of the fact that European unemployment is over 25% in some countries. Youth unemployment is over 50% in some places. The GOP, conservatives and big business is OK with such a high number because it allows them to lower wages because of the competition.

It is obvious why the GOP wants to end the safety net. That gives them and their rich allies full economic power and allows them to do what they want. It also starves government to the point that the same government has to sell off public assets for pennies on the dollar TO THEM.

So it is no surprise that Canada is losing ground under conservative government. And our rich elite will not be satisfied until the US and all of Europe are in the same sinking boat. And the reason that so many Americans are ignorant is because our MSM is in on the scheme.

This shit has been in high gear since Nixon. I really hope people do a little research other than playing some game on their I-phone.
