If You Can Watch This And Still Vote GOP, You May Not Have A Soul

If you can watch this and still think that the Republican agenda for the US is a good one, get the fuck away from me.  Don't comment, just GTFO. 


These kids are going HUNGRY while the richest 2% of the population gets to use the mortgage deduction on VACATION HOMES.  Does anyone else feel like they're living in late 18th-century France?

It's disturbing and very sad how many kids know what it's like to go to bed hungry.

I direly wish I could say that I am shocked. I'm appalled. I'm sickened. But I'm not shocked. So much wasted. Think about some of the weight problems these kids are going to have when they grow up and they have plenty to eat. They'll eat until they're stuffed every night because they went to bed hungry as a child. Obesity in American just gets worse. Not to mention the outrage at what the wealthy and the corporations are getting out of paying being almost able to cover all the cuts made in a single fiscal year. I'm ashamed of the wealthy and mark my words, politicians will lose their seats and new politicians will go in and make the tax cuts go away. Or something, someday, is going to set off a small portion of the population and before you know it every major city is burning and riots are rampant. It's make the LA riots look like a sit-in.

Another interesting bit--the states proposing budget cuts are the same states that offered tax breaks to corporations. And the deal to stop the U.S. defaulting--no, we're going to cut back spending by cutting jobs. Er, how does that help anything???

But if you ask a good number of elected officials/candidates, the problems stem back to empowered women, abortion, and gay marriage. Yes, all of that is the problem.

This needs to stop soon.
