End Social Security & Welfare? Abolish Private Property & Money!

I've had it with this GOP domestic terrorism threatening to end, reduce, cut back, or curtail all the safety net programs that we've built since the 1930's so people wouldn't starve to death or die of exposure in this country. Michigan GOP gangsters, laughingly called our legislators, for instance, ended cash assistance to needy families after 4 years - as if people only lived for 4 years! - and now we literally have beggars standing on street corners around here. And how many Republicans have threatened Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid (Bobby Jindle literally gave a death sentence to some poor women in his state by cutting off Medicaid benefits to Planned Parenthood.) and food stamps? Um...all of them!

The trouble with Democrats today is that we aren't radical enough in response to these Republican threats to our continued existence. So, instead of responding to these radical ideas the Republicans have to leave people to starve to death, we accommodate. For instance, welfare so-called "reform": sure, we said, we agree we need to get these deadbeats off welfare and into jobs - as long as you're not too cruel.

Well, if the Republicans want to go back to nature where everyone lives off the land, eating nuts and berries, and hunting for food, survival of the most rugged of rugged individuals, then we need land: abolish private property. Then, abolish money so everyone will have an equal chance to survive.

That's not communism, either. Nope. That just Republican economic philosophy carried out to its inevitable conclusion: every man for himself.

And see? We have the power to destroy the influence of the Koch Brothers, and all the billionaires, forever, if we choose to! And Personally, I'd enjoy seeing David and Charles foraging for nuts and berries! Wouldn't you?

One More Year - YEAR! - Until The Election.

366 days since 2016 is a leap year. They just put up decorations at the malls here for Christmas, and they'll be putting up decorations for Christmas in 2016 before we vote. And this thing has already gone for close to a year at this point.

Any questions on why it costs so much for presidential elections?

Anyone burnt out yet?
