Yesterday April 15th usually known as tax day in former years will, this year, be known as the day the radical right wing section of the Republican Party finally pushed the Republicans over the edge to trip on the third rail of American politics.
Republicans, voted 235 for vs 193 against killing medicare for seniors in America. Although 75% of Americans are against changing medicare in any way, the Republicans following the Tea Party mantle, want to bankrupt seniors and have them either live on the streets or have them move back in with their kids. Before medicare 25% of senior lived in poverty due to the high price of private insurance. And all this in a bill that cuts taxes for the richest 1% of Americans!
The Bible says to take care of the widows and the orphans. It also says that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven. The Tea Party and the Republicans that are following them are trying to end this country as we know it. They want to give more wealth to the rich, while at the same time end the programs that help the poor. They are trying to send our country to hell! As Christians we cannot support a political party and ideology that goes against the very basic ideals of Christianity itself.
It is time that true Christians stand up for what we truly believe, not the Plutocratic and Oligarchical society that the radical (and increasingly common Republican ideology) is trying to convert our country and political system to. But a government FOR the people not against the people.
