God damn Liberals!!!!

Alan gets up at 6:00 AM to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to ensure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Alan gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Alan’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Alan takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; his bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Alan dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Alan begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Alan's employer pays these standards because Alan's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Alan is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noon time, Alan needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Alan’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Alan’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.
Alan has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Alan and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Alan is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dad's; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark.)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on social security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Alan wouldn't have to.
After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Alan that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Alan enjoys throughout his day) and Alan agrees. "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have!"

And the liberals in Michigan did what to the water supply.

@wazoo9191 Those "liberals" were Republicans who made the decision to switch water supplies to a largely black population because the new source was cheaper, then chose to ignore evidence of supply problems, even when GM refused to use the water because it was too corrosive. Liberals would have never let that happen. Republicans never gave the consequences a second thought.

@windinhishair Republican Governor Rick Snyder appointed the financial manager to cut costs in Flint. Switching the water supply was part of those cuts. They refused to reconnect to the City of Detroit supply that was formerly used, even when offered at no cost of reconnection, and refused to treat the water to reduce the corrosion that led to lead poisoning, which would have cost all of $100 a day. Better to let tens of thousands be poisoned than to pay $100 a day.

@windinhishair Gov. Cuomo who is a democrat did the same to Hoosick Falls, New York which is mostly White. It has nothing to do with race. It is all about screwing people who are not in the ruling class circle of friends and family

@Backwoodsman2 Hoosick Falls has nothing to do with what happened in Flint. It is a legacy issue from the long-term manufacture of PFAS.

@windinhishair The reason I brought that up was that that was pushed in the public and media, Do you know what happened in Hoosick FaLLs ?

@Backwoodsman2 Yes, I'm familiar with the location, the issue, and I've even done work in the past for St. Gobain on similar issues.
