they will do anything to destroy the President and the Democrats. We are just filthy collateral to them. They don't give a fuck about the people who even voted for them. They care about winning elections.... and about enriching The Koch brothers and themselves. They don't care if this destroys the recovering economy. They don't fucking care.

I'm actually crying right now. Seriously. I just don't know how much more America can take of this shit. They want us all to be living on the fucking streets, begging for money, and holding bake sales to get medical care. They want our elderly to die in poverty. WHY??? The coprorate profits are up 170% now. Is that not enough??? States are getting back into the black, and people are hiring, and they want to fuck it up!

Who elected those people???
