The entire GOP apparatus has been dedicated to nothing but fleecing the country for decades now.

Every facet of US life that has any real value has been strip-mined by these fucking ghouls.

It’s clear and has been clear for a long time that they think US laborers are too expensive, too demanding, and aren’t worth what we think we are. They want to create an uneducated underclass that can only do shitty factory work for pennies a day so they can use their “human capital stock” to compete with other countries cheap labor. They know they won’t be able to achieve that as long as we’re all educated, healthy, and able to fend for ourselves. They want to make us completely beholden to them for basic survival through abusive and controlling measures hoping we just cower and give up. So far, it’s working.
