The fact that Republicans are trying to relax regulations against businesses? The fact that Republicans want to relax environmental regulations? The fact that Republicans are anti-union? The fact that Republicans are against universal health insurance, against coverage for pre-existing conditions, against cutting into pharmaceutical profits? The fact that Republicans are against higher taxes for millionaires even if it means paying for a jobs program? The fact that Republicans are against anything that would improve the economy? <br /><br />Or are you asking for facts as to whether or not the world economy is going to collapse? Do you want facts about whether the renminbi is drastically undervalued, and the Chinese economy is on the brink of collapse, taking our largest creditor with it? Do you want facts about whether the European Union is about to be dragged down by Greek default? <br /><br />Or perhaps you are asking about facts as to whether or not the Republicans really are setting up a Noah's Ark of Wealthy Americans? Perhaps just adding paragraphs 1 and 2 above is not simple enough math for you? Perhaps you want facts that Republicans are willing to have America default on its debt and collapse the world economy? Perhaps you want facts that the Republicans are trying to roll back the banking regulations to re-create all of the factors that led up to the last collapse of the housing market and almost collapsed the world economy? Perhaps you want facts that Republicans would not hesitate to attack Iran if given the chance, and through the world oil markets into further turmoil and collapse the world economy? <br /><br />Perhaps you are looking for facts that the wealthiest Americans are getting wealthier? Perhaps you are looking for facts that oil companies and insurance companies and banks are making more money than ever before? Perhaps you are looking for facts that mutual funds and hedge funds and other investment vehicles are making more money this year than ever before? Perhaps you are looking for evidence that the distribution of wealth in America is more skewed now, with more wealth in the hands of fewer people now, than it has been since the Gilded Age?<br /><br />If you can't add up 1, 2, and 3 and come up with your own similar conclusions as to what all those facts mean, it just goes to show that you have had all of your reasoning wiped away by the neo-religious, blindly ignorant, brand of "conservatism" that those suckers on radio and TV peddle... and to be honest, that does not surprise me. That's what they were supposed to do: Make you a willing and eager participant in the dismantling of all of America's social and economic security so that they could, when worse came to worst, fuck you.Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-63486117601922019582011-10-10T09:55:19.277-04:002011-10-10T09:55:19.277-04:00Do you any facts to back up your statements?Do you any facts to back up your statements?tommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841201152192346201noreply@blogger.com
