What The People Really Want

Politics

I am so sick of hearing Republicans like John Boehner say they are there to “represent the people”. Bullshit! They are there to represent special interest. If it was the other way around then they would listen to poll results like this: Raising taxes on the rich beats out cuts to defense spending, Medicare or […]
