Republicans propose cutting out the middle man and just push the US into a new dark age
On the heels of fighting for the estate tax and Rand Paul saying that there is no rich, middle class or poor; just the rich and those who work for them, one legislator became tired of the gradual way of doing everything and just asked Senator Mitch McConnell if they could accelerate the process to turn the US into a neo-feudal state. He seemed to agree.

The following bills will soon be considered:

Abolish the department of education, every map from now will on will have every major landmass except the US replaced with a sea serpent or the caption "Tharr be dragons here", kids will be taught numbers 1 through 3 and told "Well... There you go.", and "science" will become known as "witchcraft."

A bill to subsidize the construction of a moat around every mansion and megachurch.

A bill to create sumptuary laws, if you aren't one of the new lords of the land, then you will be taxed every time you're caught wearing something that's not sackcloth. Also, another sumptuary law is being proposed to ban the selling of spices to those making less than $250,000 a year.

A bill to redefine the American Dream that for the non-rich the American Dream is to own at least one turnip.

And more.

1. 98% of Americans are being pushed into poverty and slavery
by 2%. There has got to be a way to stop that. We need a 98%er political party. Together we have more money, people and potential power.
