Plutocracy

Republican bullshit is on display in all its glory.

Rules and standards are a wonderful thing when it suits their purposes and is used as a weapon in their interest but bad when the rules and standards they set are applied to them and their actions.

This is yet another living example of the simple truth that republicans want not just a plutocracy but a plutocracy that is limited to a very exclusive group.

99.8% of people in the world are not in that group though. Funny enough, sitting republican members of the Congress, house and senate, are not either.
Pathetic as it is sounds they are content to serve those that, in the end, care as little for their wellbeing as they do for the rest of us poor slobs.

I would go a step further and say that, while there is nothing wrong with wealth and being successful, we should have a tax policy that ensures that a person's wealth and success are not at the expense of society and the least of those with the most need.
