The Republicans in Congress and in state houses all across America have been putting money and their political party ahead of their constituents, ahead of Americans and for years.
After the horrible, horrific Newtown shooting/slaying of 20 school children and 6 adults at the school, the first thing out of their mouths was that this murder "shouldn't be politicized" in a clear effort to protect the NRA and the gun lobby and weapons manufacturers.
Once again, guns--and money--before people, before us Americans. They put their political party and the money they get from their "sponsors" before Americans and before American lives.
This one they just recently, rather famously did.
House GOP Blocks Measure to
Keep Guns from Mentally Ill
They ruled that people who are clinically diagnosed as being mentally ill and/or unstable should be able to have weapons, guns. In their terms, they should "be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights."
People be damned.
And now, with Republicans finally, finally creating and releasing a plan of any kind to replace "Obamacare", which is so important to them, they once again did the same thing. They put money and the deficit and the budget ahead of people, ahead of Americans, ahead of American lives.
This headline proves, shows where the Republicans' priorities are and proves my point with their health care plan is right here:
Health Bill Would Add 24 Million Uninsured but Save $337 Billion, Report Says
Here's another.
No Magic in How G.O.P. Plan Lowers Premiums: It Pushes Out Older People
They’ve put guns before American lives for years and now, budgets before American lives. Everything boils down to money with these people. And then they’re doing it so they can get and keep more money in their pockets, from their sponsors and overlords, in the form of “campaign contributions.” Ryan’s Strategy: Stress Savings, Play Down Rise in Uninsured
Though it's estimated 24 million Americans would lose their health care insurance completely, these Republicans want and plan to give the already-wealthy yet more tax breaks, with the very same bill.
GOP health care plan gives wealthiest a $275 billion tax break
It's easy, so easy, to see what these people's priorities are. It's political party first, their interest groups second and money. Always.
