'As long as Libertarian-leaning billionaires continue pouring cash into the campaigns and lifestyles of Republican members of Congress,' says Thom_Hartmann, expect only more of this.

“To appreciate how far we have come, it is instructive to look back on what American life was like in 1900. At the turn of the century, fewer than 10 percent of homes had electricity, and fewer than 2 percent of people had telephones. An automobile was a luxury that only the very wealthy could afford.

“Average income per capita, in 1999 dollars, was about $4,200. … The typical workweek in manufacturing was about 50 hours, 20 percent longer than the average today.” — “We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws, and the immediate abolition of the despotic Federal Election Commission.“We oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services, including those which finance abortion services.“We favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually bankrupt, and increasingly oppressive Social Security system. Pending that repeal, participation in Social Security should be made voluntary.

These Republicans believe our government should really only have a few simple mandates: maintain a strong military, tough cops, and a court system to protect their economic empires. It appears all or nearly all of the Freedom Caucus members, dancing to the tune first played by David Koch, don’t believe in our current form of American government. They want us to go back to the pre-1930s America, before FDR’s New Deal.
