It's Money That They Love

Dear Republican voters,

It should be evident to all but the dullest of you that your elected officials, the men and women with that R next to their names, the ones you've sent back to Washington over and over again, despite their utter lack of achievements, love one thing and one thing only:

Money.

Oh, sure, at every election they are masters at playing to whatever pet prejudices you, their easily fleeced flock, are currently in an uproar about.

Could be abortion. Could be welfare. Could be immigration. Could be guns. Could be health care. Could be "them" and what "they are doing to ruin this great country of ours." (The "them" being people of color, or the gays, or feminists, or those wicked, wicked liberals.)

Could be all of the above. They know you are haters and they willingly cater to your hatred.

But unless you are a complete dolt, (and I recognize that complete dolts make up a sizeable percentage of the Republican Party), you have to by now have recognized that what truly motivates all but the worst of the worst (i. e. the Gohmerts and Kings and Franks of the Grand Old Party), is money, and its non-stop pursuit.

Take the latest rip-off, aka the Republican tax plan. Unless you are a millionaire, better yet a billionaire, this "plan" will not help you at all. It will in fact hurt you. Deeply. Now, you might think that the fine Christians you helped elect would not want to hurt their constituency. Hahaha! Once again the joke is on you.

See, the vast majority of you do not give millions of dollars to the Republican party. So, honestly, what do you expect all the God fearing Republicans in Washington to do for you? You have no quid in the quid pro quo game. But billionaires do. Folks like the Koch brothers, the Mercers, the Ricketts, and Sheldon Adelson. They bought them a bunch of congressmen and women and a so-called President, and they expect to get something in return.

Like massive tax cuts and an end to the estate tax. And if they don't, they won't send millions of dollars to the Republican Party anymore. And the Republican Party will cease to exist. Pretty simple.

Now, somebody has to pay for all those pretty pretty toys the Defense Department really really needs, and if it isn't the wealthy, and it won't be, guess who it will be. Same for whatever few threads are left of the safety net.You might think that the safety net is only for "them", but you will find out very quickly that you need it, too.

Gee, I wonder whose taxes are going to go up if the richest amongst us have their taxes go down?

Uh, that would be you.

Again, hahaha.
