    Wonder if it wouldve made any difference if this article was published weeks earlier.

      Of course not.

      Hell, if this was transmitted back in time to October it wouldn’t change things.

      People are too stupid to govern themselves.

        No we aren’t. The rich are too greedy to allow freedom of choice. Don’t mistake the two.

          I’ve seen groups of all sizes break down so regularly that I disagree. This isn’t a problem with our system of government, it’s a problem whenever you have a group of people who are trying to make a decision. They have power trips and logical fallacies and do all kinds of idiotic things.

          Even if I agreed with you, it was We the People who allowed that to happen. We had to have fucked it up for the rich to even be able to do it.

          Half of Americans read below a 6th grade level. We are too stupid to govern ourselves.

            Keep on a lickin’ maybe one day that boot will shine.

            I’m not sure if you’re trolling, or you actually believe that bullshit of an answer, that you just typed up.

              What boot am I licking? Nobody should be in charge, because whoever they are would be a human, and humans are too stupid to take care of themselves.

      This is just the beginning. It is a signal for all the Red States to pass these type of cuts on their social safety nets. This is a direct transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Another round of trickle down!

        I’m considered upper middle class, and the regime will be after us next. We have lots of assets that can go directly to the billionaires.
