REPOOBS: "peeing" on the POOR (again)??

I saw Master Marco (Rubio, of course) on the "Telly" a few days back; "earning his stripes" from Miss 
Nancy of the Reagan mind-set; by delivering the annual Repoob diatribe against Poverty and the Poor.   It reminded me of an old "Moms" joke about the young man thrown out of a swim club for "peeing" in the pool.  "But, everybody pee's in the pool!", he protested.   Yea, came the response, but not from the high diving board!!  

Rubio, in his speech, derided the current push to raise the minimum wage, by claiming that the concept of a minimum wage was at odds, somehow, with the "American Dream".  After three years in Miami in the early 2000s, I can see where Rubio is coming from.  A close observation of the numerous, and distinct, minority communities in that city would readily reveal the mindset of Florida Cubans.  Coddled by the Republican Party, most of those Cubans (not the Mariel group) have been protected and pampered, while other Florida minorities are miserably treated.  Could it be that Rubio, like the Reagans, worships the extremely wealthy, while damning or dismissing the poor (and those not close, enough, to white?).  Marco clearly hopes to "stand out"; and he "aims to climb high", as well.  The speech last week was clearly a "high diving board" for him?

Even casual watchers of the news today know that the group that contains the largest number of people in poverty is the  "white" group.  That portends problems for the Repoobs, because Reagan promised to protect poor whites when he was elected, in droves, by them in the 1980s.  Today's Republicans are eager to throw them "under the bus" by denying them unemployment checks.  Republicans should worry that poor whites will "figure it all out" before the 2014 election; and FINALLY vote their economic interests INSTEAD of the "social issues" the Party has run on for decades.

We can all hope that STUPID does not last forever!

Stay Vigilant!  "To expect to remain both IGNORANT, and FREE...."
