Day 157:
If you let the republicans get away with taking health care from people, they will only become more brazen:
Taking away someones supply of oxygen is suffocating them, taking away someones food is starving them, taking someones health care away is murdering them. Worse than that, you torture them first with painful illness, bankrupt them and their family, then allow them to die miserably, and then their family has to find a way to pay to bury them.
Why would the republicans do such an obviously evil thing? So they can give billions in tax cuts to rich people who already have more money than they need.
Fuck these assholes. Every single one of them needs to lose their seats in congress, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Get out and vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. They want to torture and kill you, they want to ruin your life, don’t let them lead this country off a cliff.
