What far-right vote will get you

The election of far-right Republicans will result in at least some of following:

More unnecessary wars: Iran; North Korea. And of course, unfunded.

Less regulation: more disasters - such as oil spills; more defective products; all this, in combination with attempts to regulate compensation via tort reform; banking and Wall Street will resume both their predatory practices and casino type ventures.

Eliminate all unions, leaving workers with even less protection.

Movement to keep wages as low as possible while creating environment for even more billionaires.

Eliminate health care so insurance companies profits increase even more and they have the last word as to who is covered.

Privatization or elimination of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits.

Keep incentives for multinational corporations to continue outsourcing millions more jobs oversees at taxpayer expense.

Enhance power/profit of the upper 2 percent and multinational corporations.

Enact more intrusive legislation robbing us of freedoms all at the altar of national security.

Cut taxes (revenues) without plan to truly cut spending - hence higher debt.

Can you say - a majority of people working for slave wages with little or no protection? Can you say - Third World America with the largest gap between the haves and have nots?

You reap what you sow.
