Typical republicans…

Well…as I do these things every day, I just shake my head at the shameless repubs and the damage they are causing to the US. The latest one is a huge gift to their corporate masters and VW in particular by changes to the class action suit that would make it almost impossible to continue to hold corporations responsible for their misconduct and the individual damage they do to consumers. In VW’s case, the damage was done to people who bought their cars and saw the value of them destroyed by the emissions cheating that VW admitted to….but the repubs want the class action suit laws changed to say that you have to have actual physical damage to be able to file suit and that every case has to have the same physical damage to be granted class action status…so that would mean that if VW made a car that had defective brakes and lots of people got into accidents and were injured, it couldn’t be considered for class action unless everyone broke the same arm or had the same ribs broken; something that would never happen in the real world. This is your modern repub party folks…protect the corporate “people”  and screw the real ones…
