What if every billionaire in America was patriotic
enough to love his/her country more than their money?
What if the Koch brothers would donate those
$100 million to charity instead of trying to buy off politicians and put out
misleading ads?
What if the Mitt Romneys of America could be
persuaded to bring back their companies registered abroad so that they could
avoid paying taxes?
What if we stopped subsidizing oil companies,
encouraging firms to close down their manufacturing plants in America and
taking them abroad?
What if we placed tariffs on products made by
American companies abroad?
What if we actually had regulations that would
prevent those “too big to fail” financial institutions to be broken up in order
to prevent another financial crisis?
What if we actually would have UNIVERSAL
HEALTHCARE and exclude the parasite insurance companies?
What if it was possible for America to ever
return to the same tax rates that existed before George W. Bush?
What if before entering into a conflict America
would actually think it through and 1- have an exit strategy and 2- Try to avoid war by using diplomacy and worldwide pressure?
But all of these questions have a resounding no if you ask almost all
Republicans. What we do get is:
What if Social Security was privatized?
What if we can end Medicare, Medicaid and
repeal “Obamacare”?
What if we can end the food stamp program?
What if we can privatize public education?
What if we start celebrating and congratulating
those vulture capitalists instead of demonizing them?
What if there were no regulations whatsoever,
be it pollution, product safety, public safety or worker’s rights?
What if we could deport 12 million aliens?
What if we could only grant the right to vote
to those who own property and have wealth?
What if we can declare the United States a
Christian Nation and outlaw abortion, criminalize homosexuality and impose
prayer in the schools?
What if, what if, what if indeed.
