I can’t believe the BS that the right is trying to sell.
They really do want to destroy this county, and in their book Hillary must be stopped because she might actually support the middle class.
Marco Rubio and the rest of his right wing nuts sell their product to the unsuspecting poor who have no idea how badly they are about to get screwed. So let me decode it for you.
Right to work laws – This means they don’t want any unions and if your union requires dues they will make it illegal. Which means you no longer get the wage and legal protections the unions provide. Why does the right hate unions? Because unionized workers make more money than non unionized workers. And the right wants to squeeze every penny they can out of the working class so the to 1% can get just a little bit richer.
Voter ID laws – Let’s make sure African Americans and other minorities have a more difficult experience when it comes to voting. There has been statisitcally almost no voter fraud.
The New York Times reported in 2007, for instance, that a five-year investigation by the Bush administration “turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections.” – New York Times
It simply doesn’t exist. And yet the right wing pushes this and scares people into believing they are only doing “the right thing” all while doing their best to make sure traditionally democratic populations have a harder time voting.
Reform our tax code – All the right wants to do is cut taxes on the super rich. They don’t care if the middle class burns. They just don’t. Their policies are a huge fuck you to everyone who doesn’t have a million dollars in the bank.
Deregulation – They want to gut every regulation they can so companies can do whatever they want to maximize profits. They act like the “free market” will fix everything. Because big companies would never do anything that would hurt the good of everyone right? Before the EPA rivers caught fire. Workers got cancer and black lung. There were no protections for minors, workplace safety, overtime, pregnancy and sick leave. But hey, that all hurts the bottom line so lets just say screw you to the working class and let big businesses do whatever they want.
