A cruel harvest May 5, 2017 2:37 pm RL

This health bill is the culmination of conservative strategy- this will kill the poor while profiting off their deaths, it will drive more middle class into poverty- and redistribute the money upwaRds all while cutting the taxes on the wealthy even more… and the fools that voted for Trump will be among the hardest hit.

This is the GOP endgame.

Jonathan Swift once wrote a satire, ‘A Modest Proposal’, in which he proposed solving the problem of the poor classes by selling their children for the rich to eat as food…

It seems, as usual, the conservatives missed the satire, and have now adopted it as their primary platform.

They have worked diligently to widen the divide between the rich and poor- expanding the ranks of the latter while increasing the wealth of the former… and now it is time for them to harvest the fruits of their labor… and they will not shed a tear as they cut the poor down, because they have innoculated themselves against any feelings of guilt and responsibility by telling themselves that the poor are poor only because they deserve to be poor- it is their own failing, not society’s .

The thing they don’t seem to realize is that once they have have briefly satiated their hunger, it is only a matter of time before others in their ranks will look to put them on the menu for the next course.

It is simply the law of the conservative nature…
