Republicans Are Still The Party of No New Ideas



Republicans in Washington kicked off the New Year by announcing that they wouldn’t be working to make the country better, but instead they’ll just be working to stop President Obama from being able to do anything during his final year in office. This is actually how the Republicans have operated since the first day Obama came into office.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses what we can expect from the Republicans in 2016 with attorney Michael Burg.

It is time for everyone on the progressive side to heed that call. Let's see, in a nation whose people have, throughout our history, fondly seen the United States as synonymous with progress, which side wins in a contest between "progressives" and" regessivies."

Here are a few key points about the Regressives' beliefs:

Regressives are American revolutionaries who follow the slogan "No taxation and over-representation for the super-rich."

Regressives believe there is only One Commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Tax the Rich."

Regressives support a healthcare system in which it is necessary to be well-heeled in order to be well healed.

Regressives want to cut taxes to reduce deficits. Apparently they are going to push for a constitutional amendment repealing arithmetic.

were to wreck the economy and start a couple of useless wars, so maybe that's a good thing.
