Show GOP the door, just like Mubarak

You have to give the Republicans credit — they are willing to pull any underhanded and dirty trick imaginable to advance their evil agenda of destroying the middle class, as evidenced in Wisconsin.

The governor couldn’t fall over himself enough to do the bidding of what he thought was his lord and master, David Koch.

What is the Republican party’s and the Koch brothers’ nightmare agenda for the working folk? They have made no secret of it:

Ÿ Destroy labor unions through such devices such as Right to Work for Nothing laws and eliminating collective bargaining rights. That way employers can drive down wages and pay as little as they can get away with, also eliminating benefits such as sick days and health insurance.

Ÿ Allow Mexican trucking companies to operate in the United States in order to bypass paying American truckers and longshoremen.

Ÿ Repeal Obamacare so the insurance companies can continue to rip off Americans by denying coverage for pre-existing conditions and canceling you once you become sick.

Ÿ Deregulate businesses so more coal miners and other workers can die when the company owner cuts corners.

Ÿ Eliminate taxation of the wealthy completely as evidenced by their proposals to eliminate taxation on capital gains, dividends, and interest.

Ÿ Raise the retirement age to collect Social Security in hopes more people die before they can collect It.

Ÿ Eliminate Medicare and give out worthless vouchers for medical care that won’t begin to cover the cost.

Ÿ Destroy the public education system and institute a voucher program that will enable the taxpayers to help the wealthy send their children to private schools.

If you want to work for less money and only have enough to pay your taxes, rent and groceries, vote Republican. It’s time for the American people to create a grass-roots movement to do with the Republicans what the Egyptians did with Mubarak, and put their evil agenda into the dustbin of history where it belongs.
