Sheltering Corporations from taxes, Not Kids from tornadoes

snip:

A plan to put shelters in schools after seven children died in 2013 from a series of devastating tornadoes has been scrapped because Republican leaders are pushing for corporate tax cuts instead.

Who needs houses falling from the skies when you have tax-cutting, children hating, rethugs already in place on the ground.

One Percent Injustice

Unfortunately this story is not from The Onion:

snip:

A Texas judge agreed with defense attorneys’ claims that a 16-year-old who killed four people while driving drunk had been given whatever he wanted by his wealthy parents and had never learned to accept responsibility for his actions.
