I bet you can guess what the first thing a Republican or a member of the TEA Party will do to make life more difficult for the American people if they win the White House. You are probably right; take away our health care. What will they replace it with? Likely nothing, as Ted Cruz proved when he was asked that question in Iowa and had no answer.

The next step will be to eliminate the minimum wage. Then the new president, elected by the one-percent, will work on reducing social security and Medicare benefits. He will end all public assistance programs including food stamps.

Within six months our nation will be engaged in another unwinnable war in the Middle East which will increase the deficit; but that won’t stop him from raising the military budget to over one-trillion dollars.

Some of my many critics will say that I am doing the same thing I accuse Republicans of doing; using fear tactics. Nothing could be further from the truth if you have ever listened to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, or Marco Rubio rant. The GOP is the party of destruction.

This is what one TEA Party extremist said about their strategy:

“It could be pretty powerful if it works,” said John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Senate Republican. “We haven’t yet concluded one way or the other.”

He wasn’t finished with his plans. While he is failing to work on the problems of our nation, he spends his time seeking the destruction of the working class.

“What unified us this last year on the budget was the ability to vote to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare with 51 votes,” Cornyn said. “So if we find a similar unifying theme then I think that does provide us with an opportunity and that’s what we’re exploring. We haven’t settled on anything yet.”

In addition, they would defund Planned Parenthood, based on an anti-abortion group associated with the GOP, who manufactured events at a clinic last year in a falsified film. Without Planned Parenthood, millions of poor women would not have effective health care and be forced to endure an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy.

It’s your choice to use the only weapon you possess which can save our country for the majority. You can vote for the wealthiest one-percent of our nation’s people, or vote for yourself and your family.
