GOP Policy Like The Policy When Titanic Sunk - Lock 3rd Classers Below Allow Rich To Escape First.

Was able to watch the last part of the movie Titanic the other day. What struck me most were the scenes where the 3rd class passengers were locked below decks so the 1st and 2nd class passengers could get on the life boats 1st. Sure it was women and children first, which was the usual practice in such a disaster. But the fact that third classers locked down below included women and children.

So I guess that if there were room left on the boats, 1st and 2nd class males would have been next to board. Apparenlty 3rd class women and children were not worth saving. Done want the lower classes to reproduce.

If you think about what the GOP is up to economically, they are intent on locking the lower classes i.e. third class passengers out of the political and economic system. This brand of thinking is not democracy and has nothing to do with freedom.

The more things change the more they remain the same. How pathetic.
