"Mitt Romney has to win for the sake of the very idea of America. Mitt Romney has to win for liberty and freedom."
—RNC chairman Reince Priebus

So what have we been living in for the last three years?

I think it would be more accurate to say 'Mitt Romney has to win for the sake of the very idea of the 1%. Mitt Romney has to win for capitalism and plunder.'

I loved the people who said they were going to move to Canada because the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Healthcare Act. A friend of mine who's spent a lot of time up there said it was always amusing to watch Americans in restaurants look at the higher prices because restaurants actually pay their staff a living wage up there.

Because America has been founded on the idea of unfettered capitalism? I think not. But the Republican Party still believes in trickle-down economics, no matter how little proof there is for that.

If TDE worked, we wouldn't have ever-decreasing wealth controlled by the 99%.

Actually, I think we still would, but the standard of living and the number of people in poverty would be moving in the right direction, instead of sprinting away from it.
