How Extreme Conservative Politics is Going to Destroy our Middle Class and in Some Cases Kill Many of our Elderly Retirees Surviving on Social Security.

 

We desperately need to rid our government of extreme party politicians. Some of the extreme Democrats are not great but most of the extremely conservative Republicans are hideous and should not even be allowed to do anything at all except live on the average 1200-1300 a month that is the average Social Security payment or only be allowed to get paid the minimum wage.

Extreme conservatives have been helping the Oligarchs find way to cut hours and cut pay rates for years. The most that I have made in the last 7 years is significantly less than my starting salary at a company 11 years ago. The fact that the government has allowed companies to abuse their employees that way is awful. In some cases companies were losing money but most of the large corporations that have cut jobs and salaries had absolutely no need to do so because they had no pain at all during the recession and were making record setting profits.

Banks took a hit during the recession but they received enormous amounts of money from the government and the only employees that were helped with that money were the executives.

The government does not need to go with a completely socialist healthcare system but the government should be going to Big Pharma and saying “THIS” is what you will charge and set all medication costs at reasonable levels. My wife's cancer medication is now 18000 dollars a month since the dosage was raised. This medication was created and released about 15 years ago. The R&D costs were around 2 billion dollars. The company has made over 16 billion dollars just from this medication and they continue to raise the cost dramatically every year.

If the extreme conservatives continue to allow Big Pharma to do that they will be using the frequent deaths of all of those that can not afford their healthcare as a way to lower government spending instead of setting the costs and making the Oligarchs pay taxes on all the money they have managed to hide throw through the stupid loopholes that help no one but the very rich.
