And I firmly believe that's precisely where the GOP wants us to be...a nation of impoverished people, directed by oligarchs!
Exactly true. The science hostile government in case of America today is in place so the rich do not have to abide by any agency like the EPA. This is because they want all the money they can get and do not care about your health, your water, your food, your jobs, or your children. In other words," god is still up there and he is taking care of everything."
Then they start groups to trick you into believing that dollars are voting power and have you back them up. Yes, I have the Kock brothers (and others) in mind here.
I am afraid that we are now heading in that direction with the current administration!
