I spent too much time at DOL listening to workers broken and savaged by our greedy capitalistic system to let this travesty the GOP has inflicted on the country to go unanswered. They trashed the work force by feeding them poison while telling them they were getting honey. Republican politicians are natural born liars and their supporters are no better. They plan to crash the economy again and run the deficit up to $20 if they get the chance. The Ryan budget sends us into a deeper hole and will end up in killing the the most vulnerable literally.
A median wage in this country of $25,000 is a travesty. It is what capitalism is all about when rape, pillage and plunder is ok if you are rich because you essentially stole the money on a system you rigged for 35 hears. I will never support an evil party like the GOP that actually takes pleasure of allowing people to die if they do not have health insurance. All I hear from GOP bastards is hatred and division. I am sick of it. I am sick of them. And I am sick of their POS rhetoric.
They want to turn the nation into a battlefield unless they can starve the vulnerable. It is economic eugenics when you look at the devil Ryan. And he is a devil. He is a flaming psychopath in a suit and tie.
I believe in the Teddy Roosevelt and FDR Economic Bill Of Rights and it should be our reply to the pissant Republicans. Because they are the antithesis of everything FDR supported. If we can't have the kind of economy that produces JOBS WITH JUSTICE, then we have the wrong kind of economy.
If supporting fair wages and fair working condition is too Socialist then I am guilty in every way. If giving a homeless person food is too socialist or now illegal then I am guilty. And I am proud of it.
I spent 4 years running a day labor operation at the Boulder Homeless shelter. And every single day I sent guys out to shit jobs just so they could make a few dollars so they could eat because they got only ONE meal from the shelter a day. I did not find the vast majority of these people wanted to live on the street voluntarily. And anyone who bashes these people can go straight to HELL.
If you haven't served in a combat unit and want war. If you haven't been at a homeless shelter and think the homeless volunteered. THEN SHUT THE -------!!!! UP. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY EAR YOU WILL ONLY HAVE MY CONTEMPT.
When I hear someone like Ted Nugent speak and he is not condemned the the GOP or its ilk. It is conversation over. Dialogue over. Ted Nugent"s diatribe is who Republicans are to their very corp. Hateful, racist, bigoted, homophobic, women hating, dangerous little cockroaches.
I am a Democratic Socialist and proud of it. So hear this Troll and GOP dips. If you have voted GOP, conservative or attend one of these phony churches who think that it is too socialist to seek social and economic justice and have lost your home, lost your job, have no money, have been age discriminated, are sick and have no health care or suffered any of the economic tragedies that have ravaged millions, you deserve it because you voted for the GOP. YOU CAN JUST STAY THAT WAY AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. You damn well deserve it. And you deserve no help from the government you hate.
The GOP is like the bubonic plague. They are evil to the corp. They are the evil empire.
Addendum. I have tossed all my friends that I know are Republican. I am an FDR Democrat who believes in a new NEW DEAL and not the RAW DEAL the GOP is pushing.

(32,109 posts)has goals more in line with democratic socialism. You have to go to parties like KKE in Greece to see the harder line communism. Not that it would be a bad thing ultimately, I actually feel it is a goal, but I will take what I can get. We can see what has happened in the past 30 years as the inequality has grown between rich and poor, and safety nets are chipped away. We should be so lucky to even be able to pass a New Deal type bill in this climate. It is pretty rough.

(8,159 posts)I will never understand the fear and hatred in this country of anything "different". Be it a different color skin, someone of a social level "beneath" what you are, someone from a different country, etc. It is the "I got mine screw you" society.
Mention trying what is done in Denmark, Sweden, etc. in America and OMG you are a "Socialist".
SO! What we have now isn't working but folks keep voting idiots in against their best interest. It reminds me of lemmings.
Meanwhile we have foxx news spewing lies and folks believe it all. I have very grave concerns for the future of America if this continues. If the voting is manipulated and Romney becomes president it will be time to get out of America for me.
I am a Democratic Socialist and proud of it also.
