Why Do Republicans Love Killing People?

     It's become painfully obvious that the republican party wholeheartedly loves the fact that Americans can kill each other. Of course it ends up being working class, family people who are attacked and sadly killed.   If rich people were suffering the same fate, maybe things would change.  The Republicans are controlled of course by the NRA, the oil companies, and the Koch brothers.  Any attempt to stop or control access to assault weapons and ammo shows that they have no regard for Americans safety, while acting like they are worried about foreign influences to attack and kill Americans.  They defeated a bill that would stop people on the no fly list from obtaining weapons.  They stopped a bill that would help reduce the number of people who could obtain assault weapons, and now they have passed a bill to defund Obamacare.  This will cause insurance rates to skyrocket,  making healthy people unable to afford the high rates and putting the burden on sick people who will not be able to afford healthcare, thus creating the Death Panels that they so railed against.  This will lead to the eventual destruction of the healthcare system since their will be nobody left to pay the increasingly high rates.  I hope the health insurance industry enjoys their exurbanite profits while they last.  The fight against even acknowledging climate change and the devastating consequences, once again affecting the poor, shows there is no regard whatsoever about the plight of the working class and poor. 
      Then saddest part is that some working people think the Republicans are on their side when the evidence to the contrary is so glaringly evident.
     The destruction of the economy goes back to George W. Bush, the rise of ISIS and the refugee tragedy go back to George W. Bush, WHEN ARE PEOPE GOING TO WAKE UP?????

I'm Back!

          Took a hiatus and tried to disengage, but it's really getting thick, if you know what I mean. 
The debacle of the Republican debates is truly laughable since it was revealed recently, by Mitch McConnell, that the Koch brothers are running the Republican party.  So the spectacle of the debates shows how they will pander to the masses, when in reality it's the privileged few who will really decide.
          The Koch brothers are worth over $100,000,000,000, making $ 3,000,000 an hour and want control over the government so they can pollute air and water with impunity, control the labor force, reducing us to poverty so they can have more money and power.
         I don't begrudge people their success, but I think there's a point where some of the profits could be used to improve peoples lives as opposed to be sending it offshore to avoid taxes.
         A recent release of CEO salaries shows the incredible disparity between us and them.  One CEO makes over $400,000 a day, which takes their employees 3-5 years to make.  The average wage of a CEO seems to be that they make a day what their employees make in 3 years.  Who is worth that kind of money, especially when they don't seem to use their money for any social help when so many are in need of so much.
        Recently Wisconsin, now a Koch Brothers subsidiary, announced a 7 day work week and closed door government without any recourse from traditional watchdog entities.  This the model for the country if they get their way.
       The poor and middle class have become the scapegoats for the country's problems and are being attacked on several levels by cuts to social programs and assistance, while the rich continue to amass great amounts of wealth.
       These are things people need to realize before buying into the Republicans myths.
