This idea that you ROB from the Poor and the Middle Class and give more to the RICH has not worked in this country. When are people going to wake up to the Right's scheme on this country? They don't care about you, they only want to make their buddies Richer, and the Corporations that they support and support them safer. Safer from regulations that help protect you from being scammed by these big corporations. They could care one iota about any of us, as long as they get theirs.
