Okay Republicans I know you don't really care about the debt, you just have contempt for working people. However prove me wrong, here is how you fix the debt. Close all corporate tax loopholes, raise the highest tax rate to 90%, cut the military budget down to just the level needed to defend the nation, end the Iraq and Afgan wars. There I solved your fucking budget problem, now how about those jobs you liars ran on? Oh, can't do that either? I can fix that too: Invest all that money I just saved you into infrastructure,education, bring back the Civilian Conservation Corps. Oh and here is another cost saving measure, create single payer healthcare. There I solved all your problems. Now can you please be honest and just admit you HATE working people?

2. Don't forget clean energy jobs and end the war on drugs, that's costly.
The War on Drugs makes it more difficult for people to get a job, since many employers will automatically reject anyone a job if they have a criminal record, even for something as minor as an ounce of pot. Also, there would be less people in prison. Less people in prison=less government money spent on prisons.

Other than that, you hit the nail on a head. A simple paragraph like that can solve our budget problem.

3. They Want it ALL for themselves.... they want a One Party Fascist State
in which not just the rich, but CERTAIN rich folks rule over government and we the people.

So yeah, they despise us, because we are in their way.

4. Wouldn't hurt to tell democrats in office of your plan.
Sounds good to me. And according to polls shown on Rachel Maddows show recently most would agree.
