Instead of hurting our seniors and economy "privatizing" and cutting Social Security and Medicare and starving the poor cutting foodstamps in the richest country in the world. Why doesn't Boehner want to discuss the obvious solution which has worked so well in California; raising taxes on the corporations and rich which are at the lowest levels in 60 years, close the Romney offshore tax shelters and reign in our stupid, profiteering military adventures. Many corporations pay no tax at all now after 30 years of the failed Republican Trickle Down scam which caused a horrible recession and has concentrated our wealth like Mexico.The Affordable Care Act is a good start to stop the private corporation (HMO's, Pharmaceuticals, medical device people) which are gouging and making a profit of the sick and elderly unlike more civilized countries which don't consume 1/5 their GDP on a private sector, profit driven healthcare rip-off. Could it be that these Republican extremists are being sponsored and funded by the corporations they are supporting over the interests of the American people? Now McConnell is arguing for "Citizens United II" in the Supreme Court virtually unlimited direct contributions to the candidate of corporate choice. Welcome to Plutocracy, Corporatism and Fascism! Wake up America!

“I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” Thomas Jefferson

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. Louis Brandeis
