Comments on: Paul Ryan Slits Auto Mechanic’s Throat To Kick Off GOP Purge Of Working Class https://habitablezone.com/2017/12/20/paul-ryan-slits-auto-mechanics-throat-to-kick-off-gop-purge-of-working-class/ Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:45:24 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: hank https://habitablezone.com/2017/12/20/paul-ryan-slits-auto-mechanics-throat-to-kick-off-gop-purge-of-working-class/#comment-40712 hank Thu, 21 Dec 2017 00:52:49 +0000 https://habitablezone.com/?p=68340#comment-40712 ...and Ryan has already proudly announced that next year's target is the "entitlements". The big deficits this tax cut will provoke will be the excuse to go after Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And the timing will occur during a time where the Dems will probably control at least one house of Congress, so they can be blamed for the deficits. Its no coincidence the middle class tax cuts expire but the corporate tax cuts don't. I'm thinking like a Republican now, I'm hoping I, along with the boomers (who mostly vote GOP) will get grandfathered in while the GenX and Y people will get screwed out of their retirement and medical benefits. Divide and conquer. At least, that's the plan, but things have a way of not working out the way they've planned them. …and Ryan has already proudly announced that next year’s target is the “entitlements”.

Divide and conquer. At least, that’s the plan, but things have a way of not working out the way they’ve planned them.

The next step is to squeeze all they can from the middle class until they become the new poor. This is literally the killing of your fellow citizens in order to line the pockets of the wealthy... Merry Fucking Christmas. Make no mistake, they have squeezed all they can from the poor and now they are culling the herd.
