Millions vote to screw themselves
Republican voters keep voting to screw themselves and lose every government benefit they receive.
Some of them are racists/bigots. Some of them will vote against anything Democrats are for. But far too many of them are actually not knowledgeable of the fact that Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, child care programs, student loans and so much more that helps them, comes from federal government programs. They come from the taxes we all pay.
If they were made aware that Republicans are trying to **** them out of every benefit that helps them survive, would they still vote for Republicans? Seriously. Could hatred, bigotry, racism, and all the rest of the shit they've bought into make them vote against their own self interests?
And then add Trump to the mix. They can't seem to see that he's screwing them far worse than the Republican Party ever dreamed of. Are they lemmings? Are they suicidal? I don't get it. I can't grasp what goes on in their minds.
What the **** is wrong with them????
First of all, DUmmie Cyrano, not ALL of us pay taxes; we are at the point where nearly HALF of all people don't pay taxes, and if that doesn't scare the Hell out of you, it is only because you are one of those who pays nothing.
Second, _I_ know what's in my own "self interests." You don't have a clue.
Third, if you want college costs to drop like a rock, get government $$$ out of it. Now that they want to get their mitts on child care you can expect those costs to do the exact same thing as college tuition. *shiver*
Finally, I'm doing just fine, thanks in large part to Trump's tax cut and policies that have allowed my dh's 401k to soar like we couldn't have imagined when he retired two years ago.
Stay the F out of my life, Cyrano, and I'll be just fine.
