Your so called right wingers are to blame just as much as those on the left. I'm sure your too blinded to see it though. How sad.

Here are some videos you should look up on the internet:
The facts say republicans are turning America into a 3rd world nation, by doing supply side tax cuts and dismantling the US government.

It started with GW Bush when he inherited a balanced federal budget. GW Bush then added $2.5 trillion dollars to our debt with supply side tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans.

Then the Bush White House said 935 false statements about Iraq, and then attacked Iraq for nothing. And this extra military spending added huge amounts of money to our deficits and debt.

Its republican supply side tax cuts and stupid spending that is giving America the finances of a 3rd world country. And every republican is doing it.

Mitt Romney wanted to add $6.6 trillion to our debt with supply side tax cuts.

Donald Trump wants to add $10.8 trillion to our debt.
Donald Trump's tax cut plan: It would cost at least $10.8 trillion, give lots of money to rich people.

Ted Cruz actually wants to lower taxes for the rich and raise taxes for everyone else.

And another way republicans want to turn us into a 3rd world country is by destroying our government infrastructure. 3rd world countries don't have an EPA, FDA, DOE, DOT, ex.ex. and republicans want to abolish these agencies so they can no longer fine and regulate large corporations.

Republicans also want to abolish public schools, public libraries, the Post Office, ex.ex. so their funding can be transferred to corporate America (3rd world countries don't have public schools or public libraries.)

Republicans also want to privatize Social Security so its funding can be transferred to Wall street corporations (3rd world countries don't have stable SS systems.)

ex.ex.ex.

Its the republicans that are giving America the finances of a 3rd world country with supply side tax cuts. While at the same time republicans try to dismantle every government agency (and then leave America with the government infrastructure of a 3rd world country.)

100% Truth Republicans want it so 0.000001% of Americans have all the wealth and everyone else is making $15k to $25k a yr. This the exactly what is a 3rd world country 50 families own all the wealth and everyone else can not afford to grocery store and spend $30

So your ok with someone making 1million+ only paying 5% in taxes while someone who makes 60k to 100k paying 30% the poor should not be paying 65%+ of taxes that is just wrong
