Mitt's 5-point Plan to turn America into a Plutocracy

You can read it here.  I looked over it, and had to shake my head in disgust.  For all the criticism I offer, there is one that every middle class person should note: Mitt's plan for the middle class does not include any tax cuts for the middle class.

I'm calling it the 5-point "Plan to turn America into a Plutocracy".  Here's my interpretation of Romneyspeak, based on his past speeches:

  • Energy Independence
    • Allow the return of acid rain and the hastening of global warming, via deregulated coal;
    • Allow oil producers to rape America's public lands for private profit;
    • Produce more oil so that it can be exported for private profit at the public's expense for cleanup.
  • The Skills to Succeed
    • Make states pay for vouchers, with money they don't have;
    • Increase college loan amounts, so that students can start life out with more debt than ever before;
    • Push Americans to vocational programs;
    • Increase immigration, instead of investing in students at home.
  • Trade that Works for America
    • Threaten China with more hot air than ever before;
    • Allow greater outsourcing than ever before.
  • Cut the Deficit
    • Cut NASA and NOAA spending so they cannot research global warming;
    • Cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid;
    • Eliminate the Departments of Energy, Education, EPA and Housing and give private industry a free reign.
  • Champion Small Business
    • Give corporations more money;
    • Give millionaires and billionaires more money;
    • Kill the unions;
    • Repeal rules that prevented insurers from allowing sick people to die, by allowing caps on lifetime benefits.
So that a Plutocracy of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, shall not perish from the earth,
Amen.
