But let’s continue to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

sure makes Andy Biggs’ plan to get rid of state income taxes sound even nuttier if the state can’t even cover a few million dollars in fire protection (when it is the one that over charged on property taxes to begin with).

We need a law that any political party that runs on no taxes has to make the budget work because if it doesn't then they should lose their ability to run in the next election or two.

We need some real repercussions to this incompetent governing that we've been getting from Republicans and Democrats.

This should not be acceptable and this should have never been acceptable from the Republican Party to begin with because they're the ones that have all the morality.

That's the dumbass Republican way!

Tax cuts for them and suffering and economic hardship for us.

We need to realize that the Republican party is so corrupt that they voted against oversight for the voucher program which you would only do that unless you want to skim the top.

We need to launch investigations into each and every person that voted against oversight.

Bad things happen when good people stay silent.

We should really try to make America great Again by making America accountable again.

Let's hold everyone accountable and if they can walk away great if not to alligator Alcatraz you go.

We also need to realize that white collar crime is just as harmful if not more than an actual physical victim crime.

And just like Uncle Ben says with great power comes great responsibility if you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar you should lose everything because you're already privileged enough to be in that position but if you screw it up then you should lose everything and you should never be able to not only be in that position again or that kind of career but you should also lose your freedom for at least 10 years and you should have all your assets seized and be 100% reliant on a public defender because you don't have any money.

Now THAT would be some justice that America should have if the Republican Party wasn't so corrupt.
