Although Republicans disdain facts, let them choke on the fact that the Public (we the people through our government paid for with our taxes) built and provided everything the Republicans benefited from last week:

• the convention center (using union labor)
• the Internet
• the Interstate highway system (from a Republican who is spinning in his grave)
• the clean, safe, reliable water system
• the police and emergency personnel
• the sanitation workers
• the air traffic controllers (whose union was destroyed by Ronnie Raygun)
• PBS and NPR which provided more coverage than the commercial networks
• the public education of almost everyone

In every one of those cases, there’s a rapacious businessman rubbing his paws together as he plots to “privatized” (turn to his profit) and deregulate. Some of those workers still have unions; most once did.

And think of the Everglades, which if the sacred Free Market had its say would be covered with gated communities and amusement parks. Think of the beaches and waterfronts covered with oil wells and oil. Think of the hell on earth of AmeriCo the corporatocracy. The only thing keeping feudalism at bay is federalism.

Give the delusional penny-pinching tightwads a collective finger. VOTE!
