The GOP vision of a “perfect” America [View all]

Based on what today’s Republican Party fights against and what they defend, this would seem to be their view of “perfection.”

Zero taxes for the 1%.

Zero abortions or contraception, ever, for any reason.

Zero Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Zero public education.

Zero gun laws.

Zero immigration except for white Europeans who speak English.

Zero tolerance for non-Christian religious beliefs.

Zero voting rights except for those "permitted" to vote.

Zero funding of anything except the military, the police, and their own health care.

Zero child labor or minimum wage laws.

Zero unions.

Zero restrictions on “States Rights.”

Zero tolerance of “socialist ideas.”

I’ve probably left much out so feel free to add.
