Say Hello to the Gilded Age of the 21st Century
Selfishness is a Virtue.

No regulation on food.
No regulation on drugs.
No Abortion.
No Birth Control.
No Welfare.
No Public Schools....Reading will be a privilege not a right.
No Student Loans.


Yes...we are going to get a taste of what it was like for our immigrant ancestors and all I can say is...You asked for it!

1. when we were young, papa used to give us a shot on the back of
the head when we messed up or mis-spoke. Not hard, but we definitely got the message. I'm beyond just 'saying' you asked for it. Where's papa when we need him!

2. Reverse immigration
but not of people but of jobs. My son lost one opportunity immediately after the election when that Microsoft assignment went to Italy(Berlusconi). The numbnuts above are persecuting those who pose any threat to them by sector or intellectual gradient. The Gilded Age is not just for *America* but for floating multi-corporations based here floating above sucker nations to bleed their hopes dry by having them compete for the cheapest jobs.

These people are a lot crazier.
