What I Would Say to A Republican

Yesterday overall the US-ians did a good thing.  They got rid of some bad apples and brought in some good ones.   I would have preferred if the dems took the house and got rid of Michelle Bachman, Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor for good, but I'll take what I can get.

B-rock hasnt been the best prez, in the sense that, I want him to be MORE liberal, not less, but again I'll take what I can get.

Now, about half the country voted for Mitt Romney.  These people include two basic groups: rich white dudes (selfish) and everyone else (stupid or the less offensive "ignorant"). 

Now rich white dudes make up a teeny number, lets say no more than 10% (when I say rich I mean anyone over maybe $100,000 a year in income).   So that leaves about 90% of Mitts voters in the stupid/ignorant camp.  I should let you know that I think that ignorance is not an excuse for anything, much like how ignorance of the law will not get you off in court.

I'm not entirely sure what Mitt Romney stood for, but since he had most of Bush's people in his corner, lets guess they had similar goals to last time.

1. Less taxes - I think for everyone, not just the rich.  But less taxes means fewer services and high debt because even though republicans may not like services they do loveeeee going to war

2. More debt - Much of our debt is paying for things that republicans cannot get approved in the congress, like more wars (get ready Iran).  The republicans only get worried about the debt when they are not in power but if you really wanted to pay it off they would recommend you just cut more services.  Like Housing, Education, Environment - those alone would probably pay for like a whole week of wars.

3.  Less regulation - Hope you love 3-eyed fishes and high fructose corn syrup in your water.

4. Crumbling infrastructure - Not their problem for some reason

5. Less money for education - Dumber population = more republican voters

6.  Womens rights - meh.  Do we need rights?

7. Fewer services for everyone - medical shit, social security shit, housing, development blah blah blah

8. Unregulated markets - those work (?) and then they don't work and then for some reason all the rich people suddenly need the government that they usually hate.

Basically if you go to most other rich countries, like Canada, Germany, Japan, even France.  They have services. Free education, healthcare, good infrastructure and not so much poverty.  But if you go to other 2nd world countries like Mexico and Russia, you have some rich people and a lot of struggling people, shitty infrastructure and a heavy class based society with little mobility.  Guess which of these countries has low taxes and low regulations.   BINGO!

If you are republican and you love this model so much I highly recommend you move to Mexico to live your dream.
