Sen. Bernie Sanders: GOP doing everything it can to protect wealthiest Americans

�For Republicans, it all starts and ends with President Obama�s failure,� Schultz said.

He also noted that Boehner�s �Two Step Plan� has five steps.

Sanders said he thought the president�s speech was good, but probably should have been given �six or seven months ago.�

�I think the plan of the Republicans is pretty clear,� he added. �What they want to do is everything they can to protect the wealthiest people in this country.�

1. Bernie is SO wrong about that

They're protecting the wealthiest people and corporations in the WORLD - many of whom are not in "this country" and, like the GOP, don't give a fuck about the well being of the US or her citizens. But hey, a campaign check's a campaign check, right?

Those corporations paid good money for those congresscritters, & by God, they expect a good return on their investment.
