Traitors to the American people


Wealthy Conservatives and big business should be known for what they are, traitors to the American people.
Insurance premiums have doubled in the last ten years, in the next ten years they will double again.
More and more Americans will be dropped from the Insurance rolls because of inability to pay and pre-existing conditions and various Insurance company scams.
This is well known, and not seriously disputed by anyone who can read above the sixth grade level that isn't a knee jerk right wing reactionary.
With some exceptions.
Insurance company CEO’s know the truth of the situation, but their only concern is their profits.
Their stooges, the conservative political hacks know better as well.
They are, quite simply, traitors.
They are the same corporate evil-doers who hired thugs to beat and kill strikers when the American people organized to seek a decent living. They talk about the evil of government, hoping that most Americans don’t remember how big business has opposed every human right that workers fought and sometimes died for.
These criminals in suits fought hard against child labor laws. They fought against any minimum wage.
They fought against anti-trust legislation.
They fought against worker's rights of any kind.
They are traitors to the American people, and so are the politicians and lobbyists who support them.
They are traitors not because of ideology, but simple, uncontrolled greed.
