The republicans are passing a new stimulus package for over $1trillion. In it, there will be deminished unemployment benefits. People are really hurting and the republicans are being stingy, but there will be more money handed to corporations and big business. Just the working taxpayers will not be taken care of. Never mind that we are the ones supporting this country. We are the ones paying the taxes. And yet we deserve nothing. We are expendable. I have often wondered what the underbelly of the country, ie the rich, the bought politicians, the corporations, will do when there are no more working taxpayers, when the jobs have disappeared, when millions become homeless. Exactly how do they expect the country to continue to function? And I am very afraid we are about to find out.
If I am one of those that become homeless, I will pitch a tent in the middle of the street in front of the capitol building in Austin. If they kick me off there, I will move to a state park and pitch that tent. They can't kick out millions of people. And it will be a domino effect. First those with no jobs and no way to pay rent and utilities will be made homeless. Then there will be more layoffs because no one is buying the goods. Then it will progress to city and country government because there is no money coming in to support the local government. Then it will progress to the state government and right on up to federal government. And as people starve on the streets, the rich will find that their money does not help them. There will be no infrastructure to support their properties. No utilities, no transportation, Then they will begin to understand how the economy has to work. But by then it will be too late and we will be in a severe depression with no way out. And the young people coming of age now are really getting screwed. It is a sad situation when your own government doesn't give a damn about you because you have no money to buy your own politician. It is shameful. Very shameful.
