Great questions--and facts--on our United States today, from one Wayne Stiles out on Facebook earlier.
Since when did it become acceptable in this country to toss the weakest of us overboard?
There is a political party dedicated to castrating the poorest among us.
It started out by refusing to extend unemployment benefits at a time when we were hemorrhaging 800,000 jobs a month.
Then it was cutting off food stamps to these same families. Taking food off the tables of the hungriest and poorest families.
Then the GOP showed how truly despicable they were.
Laws were passed to keep people from feeding the homeless. People were being arrested for feeding homeless families.
Laws passed to make it illegal to sleep ANYWHERE outside. Homeless people were being arrested.
Then the GOP sank to its lowest depths.
It began cutting off help to our veterans and seniors.
Veterans committing suicide at a rate of 200,000 a year. Seniors deciding whether to eat or pay bills. Denying healthcare to them all.
But the worst atrocity is while doing this, the GOP is taking that money and giving it away wholesale to the wealthiest.
Do we change this or not?
