Bernie Sanders: How in God's name can we give billionaires tax breaks and cut children's healthcare?

How in God's name can we be talking about tax breaks for billionaires, and not extending a health insurance program for children? We've got to get our priorities right.

They simply don't care. I mean, they really don't care one little bit about anyone but themselves. That is the Republican mantra. Their ethos. They live in an unfair, red of tooth and claw world where everyone is out to screw everyone else. Thus, it bothers them not one iota if children, elderly or anyone else for that matter has no healthcare or just up and die by the thousands.

Once you understand the sorry world they're coming from, you begin to understand what motivates them and what they're capable of. They live in Potterville. We live in Bedford Falls.

Plus they are shitty human beings. It's part of the criteria for registering as a Republican. 1 question:

Are you willing to f everyone to make a buck?

For some time now I have been saying and posting that this country is looking like Egypt. Now I cannot “cautiously say” we look like Eygpt. Now I can say we are Eygpt. First “our government” isn’t listening to the people and secondly the military keeps getting more and more money even though they don’t need it...
