More Scary Stuff...

> Did you ever wonder which people identify with the Tea Party groups? According to an article in the Seattle Times, groups like "...Friends for Liberty..., ...Glenn Beck's 9/12 Project, the John Birch Society, Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty, and Oath Keepers... " are among the groups finding a home within the Tea Party movement. Despite these far right leanings, the Republican Party has embraced these far right people and their scary beliefs.

* Would you like to know what Ohio Republicans would do if they got elected?

The Toledo Blade has a story about Republican candidate for state senate, Tom Waniewski. Waniewski suggests higher sales taxes, and he noted that ".....the departments of Youth Services and Job and Family Services are ripe for cuts...." Waniewski suggests that the United Way could do it all. He also likes Kasich's idea to abolish the state income tax.

In looking over these proposals from Kasich and his Republican sheeple, we can see that they just want to destroy everything we've worked to build, such as strong, inclusive public schools, award winning libraries, safety nets for workers and families, rehabilitation services for youths, etc., etc., etc....... They want tax cuts for the rich while everyone else is left with crumbs.
