The Promised Republican Plan (4/08)

So this is the promised Trump land? What the country has been waiting for? The Republican dream? No State as such. Just profit. Just business so that money can be made for the few. No idealism. Just golden staircases and gold toilets. Greed, the accumulation of wealth, the only law. Enormous houses with fifteen bathrooms, jets to take the owners anywhere at anytime, beautiful women to wait on men's desires and lust, the golden calf personified, glorified, worshipped. The poor, the sick, the old discouraged as useless members of society. Anyone who requires support from others must be encouraged to leave as soon as possible to prevent them being a burden. The earth? A cornucopia of possible wealth and riches, metals to be ripped from the earth, oil pumped from the depths and fashioned into every conceivably object of human desire. The air filtered. Water from purification plants. Medicine for those able to afford it. This is our brave new world? Children will be taught that compassion is for the weak. Strength is Power. Those who oppose or disagree eliminated or sidelined. Thank you, Republican Party, for your new vision of a better world.
