Politics... Yeahhhh...

You know what, Capitalism is a fucking joke. Seriously. Recently, the Senate Republicans voted out Elizabeth Warren's student loan bill that would allow for students to take out government loans at 3.86% interest. Now what totally baffles me is that major banks can borrow unrealistic amounts of money at an interest rate of 0.75%, and use the taxpayer's money to gamble it all on Wall Street (remember the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 where Secretary Henry Paulson somehow took $700 billion of the taxpayer's money to "bail out" the major banks like Goldman Sachs and AIG? Yeah, that was the largest white collar crime in the world's history, yet the GOP acts like it never happened.) Yet somehow, everyone goes around and blames President Obama for our economic crisis. Let's face it. The GOP/Tea Party Republicans in the House, Senate, and Congress are the  lowest forms of humanity, period. They are the reason for our economic crisis and since day one of the president's term, they have successfully done NOTHING but try to repeal bills from the Democrats and especially Obama. Never coming to a compromise or anything. They certainly love to put the fear factor in everyone's eyes with Obamacare, gun laws, and what have you, yet every time a bill goes through you never see any of their doomsday prophecies come true. I recently got insurance for cheap as hell, registered gun owners can still buy their semi-automatic assault weapons (given than they are registered and have a background check) and really, not much has convinced everyone that we live in "socialism". We are a democracy, and that's how we should be treated. Capitalism allows for the privileged to take advantage of the less fortunate and what these Republicans are trying to convince you is to support a system of government that allows for them to take advantage of you. What you see on Facebook about all of this garbage about how people are being arrested because of something "Obama did" is propaganda and every time I've read one of these, they never told the whole story or it's just made up. So what you're seeing on here is a bunch of bullshit that supposedly the government did, to convince you to stop supporting a democratic government. Why? Obviously to get people to go against the government that supports all of us a whole. What the Tea Party is trying to preach is less government and by that, means deregulating everything, which means they can take complete advantage over you if they wanted to. With less government, who's going to stop them? Our government is voted in by the people and we control the government. Our voice reflects on what happens in our country. But unfortunately, these right wing bigots don't think it's fair that our country could simply put a stop to greed and the distortion of our legislation system, so they try to convince simple minded people that we need to support a form of government that would protect people of special interests (mostly the more privileged).... Fuck. I'll finish this garbage later. I'm hung over.
