Senators and Congresscritters Deserve to Suffer. But Their Constituents Don’t.

35. Of course there is! I'm a Progressive after all.

But I'm not Ghandi and I'm not Mother Theresa.

When I see the suffering of the poor in my state, the undocumented, the low-wage families that have to scratch together just to provide a hot meal for their children, the tax exemptions that millionaires and billionaires enjoy while we get zilch, the decrepit state of our public schools, the unfunded wars, the impoverished children all across the country not limited to Oklahoma, the dismantling of EPA standards - just to name a few - it infuriates me that a country that's so wealthy can't even pass a decent jobs bill because of filibustering Republicans in the Senate and anti-Big Gubment Republicans in the House. How did they get there? They had to be elected, right? The next question is, who voted for them and why would they unless their of that privileged elite?

My compassion for my fellow American doesn't only rear its head when there's a natural disaster. It's there all the time and every day, and that heart you believe I don't have, breaks every time I see Republicans voting against common sense policies that would have helped millions of vulnerable Americans, the elderly, the young children.

Republicans are the problem, but they wouldn't get to their positions of power were it not for the people who don't have millions in their bank accounts, stupidly voting for them.
