The two great forces are now regressives posing as progressives, and regressive extremist posing as regressive extremist.

It is still all about voting for the lesser evil, or in this case, the lesser regressive.

...but Big Money wins LESS if the Democrats maintain control.

It is a kinder, gentler, more scenic road to No Benefits Wage Slavery and a new Gilded Age.

If you were smart, or pulled harder on your bootstraps,
you would have become an Exec with a Health Insurance Corporation.
THAT is a Growth Industry
that NOW has Mandated Customers, Mandated Profits,
and a golden gateway to the Public Treasury!
The much vaunted "subsidies for The Poor" don't really go to the Poor.
They go directly into the pockets of Wall Streets Incestuous 1st Cousin, the Health Insurance Industry.
This "Industry":
*Manufactures NOTHING

*Provides NO Service

*Produces NO Wealth (Value Added)

*Adds NOTHING of benefit to our Common Wealth

Billions of taxpayer dollars....for Absolutely NOTHING,
and Job Security enforced by the US Government and their hammer....The IRS!!!
WHO could ask for anything MORE?

"Its the FREE Market"!!!
Its the "Invisible Hand"!!

Its the "Uniquely American Solution"!
