When I was young there was one thing I believed about the GOP and the rich... [View all]

They wanted to take our society back to the industrial age. A time when young children were working on production lines, when there was no overtime, no insurance, no family leave, when when workers "owed their soul to the company store."

I seriously feared those times would return one day. But as I got older, I began to see how the balance of our government seemed to be preventing that.

But now the GOP has implemented a well-oiled formula of lying, cheating, using foreign governments, voter suppression, stepping all over our constitution, etc, and I am once again certain their goal is to take our country back 100 years.

I hope those who voted Republican in 2016, and don't have millions at their disposal, come to realize that the GOP is NOT looking out for their best interest.
