Justin's Political Corner

There is no shortage of reasons not to vote Republican. The litany includes tax cuts for the rich, cutbacks in government programs, obstructing needed legislation, disregard for the environment, denial of women’s and other human rights, military escalation.

And who’s paying for the $1 trillion of national security to protect their growing fortunes? The Republicans want that money to come from the rest of us.
