Lurking *bots and Freakers, yo. In here, especially you blue collar ones.

[Skidmore]

So you wanted your government run like a business, did you? Well, enjoy. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Your godly Rs have been workin' hard today to take away overtime pay and substitute comp time, which your supervisor will likely never let you use--particulary if you work for an itty-bitty business where the bossperson doesn't really want to be minding the store.

You are so going to be paying taxes like you've never paid before (and not just federal--how do you think your local government is going to get the funds to fill the potholes, maintain the sewers, pick up your garbage, maintain your schools, you stupid, thickheaded morans?). While they are at it, your fine Christian Rs are busy stripping you of the piddly little tax shelters they toss the way of the middle and working class. Your taxes will be due on tax day and in cash.

You are going to pay out the wazzoo for energy, food, clothing, and any product your shrivelled little hearts desire--and you won't be able to charge it all--cause they are comin' for yer credit cards. When those are gone, they'll repo your car and foreclose on your house. Instead of huggin' your guns, you should have been holding tight to your wallets. Instead of paying attention to your neighbors bedroom activities, you should have had your eye on your bank account. Forget the retirement fund, cause the Rs and their corporate cronies will find a way to steal those before this is over. You are going to work till you die. And you may die much sooner than you anticipate, cause you won't be able to afford the health insurance policies and the government won't regulate the insurance industry to make sure you can.

Congratulations--welcome to the brave new world. Yer on yer own and they don't give a damn. Suckers!
