86. No, he is not alone in this dirty business

May 2016

of trying to make us eat the same shit sandwich we've been eating for over 30 years.

"Cut taxes on the rich."

"Starve the people and make them sacrifice, so our beloved corporations can hoard even MORE wealth offshore! So even more people fall into poverty, die years before their time due to lack of proper nutrition and healthcare, and their kids get substandard educations and shitty air to breath. Oh, yeah, and some lead in their water, too! Yeah! That's the ticket!"

Warner and his Dem ilk can sell that crap burrito from the Repuke taco truck. How they even propose this evil continue, with a D next to their names and straight faces, is beyond me. Lobotomies? Xanax? What the fuck is wrong with them?

Oh, yeah. The most toxic asset in the US: GREED
