Republican economics…

Well…as repubs elected to state houses trash the economies of their states with their faith based economics, more and more examples come up where it is clear that all repubs are on the grift…enriching themselves and their cronies while cutting everything that makes a state livable for the masses. The latest example comes from Alabama, where the repub governor Robert Bentley just gave his staff, and others, raises of almost 75K per year while they were passing a law that prevents any municipality from raising the minimum wage to allow people to get a living wage…yep, you heard that right…enrich the rich and the people that have been giving tax breaks to corporations and cutting services across the state get a big raise for it…and this is not the only shenanigans the idiot Bentley has done…just last year he took 2 million dollars from the BP oil settlement that is supposed to be used to help the people that were hurt by the spill, and used that money to rebuild a little used governors mansion for his use…these guys have turned these states into little more than tin pot dictatorships where they steal everything for themselves and the hell with the people they are supposed to govern….this is the modern repub, folks..take a good look…geez…
