Would it bother you that much that in-state tuition rates had been granted the children of resident illegals on the same terms as the children of other residents?
If you were an employee of the government or of a government
contractor relying ultimately for your paycheck on other peoples’ tax payments, would you be furious at the Democrats for insisting any budget alternative to
the current “sequester” contain tax increases?
If you were about to lose your job because the sequester
forced on the country by the Republican Party instead of a workable budget with
enough tax money to pay duly authorized government expenses was laced with automatic
cuts to government employment even in the sacred defense sectors, would you
blame all that on the Democrats?
You bet.
Reminds you of the patriotic, Land Where Our Fathers Died, I
love the Constitution and American liberty conservatives who move to some nouveau-riche Islamic Republic, friendly dictatorship, or near-dictatorship on the far side
of the world because the taxes are lower and, the people being poorer and more
abandoned, their American earnings go a lot further.
How many times have you seen these oblivious upper-middle class
types on HGTV?
Got to get your priorities straight, man.
The real kicker is these people think they're all John Galt and have every right to be angry at poor people who don't pay taxes and use foods stamps to buy a lottery ticket or a six pack.
It never occurs to them that the boomers who paid taxes into Social Security and Medicare and for Medicaid and every other piece of American social democracy and from whom they are trying to take all that might be the ones with a real right to be angry.
But the mythology of rights is exactly the root of the problem, isn't it?
These outrageous buffoons have bought into a fantasy of rights and justice that empowers the haves and the exploiters, helped by their middle-class fellow-travelers and useful idiots who have no idea they are being fleeced, as well, to take everything the non-rich have by branding it all stolen goods.
That's exactly what the true believers of the right believe, remember?
This is the beating heart of the American conservative faith: "Socialism is fine until you run out of other people's money."
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, public provision of any good or service on the basis of need, minimum wage laws, workers comp, unemployment, workplace safety laws, product safety laws, environmental protections laws and regulations - all of this represents or is based on one form or another of stolen goods, stolen from them.
Every cost, direct or indirect, this imposes on corporations and those who live on profit is so much money stolen from them and given to undeserving leeches.
That is the political morality of a huge part of America, speaking.
It is more vicious and dangerous in its dominant forms than any American religion.
And it's what political true believers really do believe instead of religion.
Not to mention the evil trailer trash who are Christian the way the Klansmen were Christian.
