The GOP's Biggest Scam

"Republicans campaign on the idea that government is broken or ineffective. Once elected they sabotage its functions, then use their own failure as proof that privatization is the only solution --- Ultimately enriching their friends.

The GOP intentionally makes government dysfunctional so they can justify selling it off to their wealthy donors. It’s not just bad policy — it’s a calculated scam."

...they will become completely and absolutely dysfunctional.

Doesn't matter to the billionaire class- except that they fly in private jets - so if planes keep crashing into each other the billionaires could crash too. I think they're too stupid to realize that.

I think the 20-somethings will have no problem understanding this explanation. It's remarkably succinct and correct.
This man has a bright future in politics. I hope he brings down a lot of Repukes.
