Retro Republicans are back in power after 80 years, after hitting a bulls-eye and capturing Congress during midterm elections. Vintage ad 1941
Hoist a Baccarat cut crystal tumbler of 24-year-old BenRiach scotch whiskey ( distilled during the Reagan years) and toast the return of Republican power.
Corporate powers and wealthy elite are already licking their lips in anticipation of tax cuts for major corporations.
Let the unequal distribution of wealth and income continue.
Republicans Call the Shots
Back in power after over 60 years, the majority Republicans can now call the shots.
Taking direct aim at the Democrats, the GOP hit a bull’s-eye, winning control of congress.
In a race where winner takes all – it’s easy to see who the real losers will be.
Locked and loaded, the GOP is gunning for Obamacare. You can also bet they’ll go off half cocked about abortion, same-sex marriage, ignore immigration reform, block much-needed increases in minimum wage, and create cuts in middle class tax deductions for pensions and IRAs. And speaking of cuts, Medicaid and food stamps are clearly in their sights.
For the poor and hard-working, beleaguered middle class, winner really does take all -all hope of progress.
