The young must die so Geezers can pay low taxes!

It never ceases to amaze me at how greedy and un-Christian Southerners are. The latest volley of cruelty originates in the state of Arizona, where the possibility of raising taxes and forcing the wretched Geezer-polis of this desert wasteland to invest in their fellow Americans, communities, and infrastructure not linked to killing foreigners is verboten.

Gov. Jan Brewer signed an austere budget that will eliminate health coverage for 47,000 low-income children by eliminating the state's Children’s Health Insurance Program.   The only state in the union willing to do so.  The NY Times states that Arizona, not content to bulldozer over its future citizens, will "roll back Medicaid coverage for childless adults in a move that is expected to eventually drop 310,000 people from the rolls."

The Republican-controlled Legislature furthermore passed a budget that includes deep cuts to both health care and education.

The Medicaid reduction for childless adults rolls back an expansion approved by voters in 2000 and cuts enrollment about 25 percent. The expansion was to be paid for with tobacco settlement dollars, a revenue source that quickly proved inadequate.

No doubt the anti-tax armada of self-made Geezers will relish the thought that their precious money won't go to the superfluous requirement of having decent health care coverage or education for children.  After all, these people are clearly either just freeloading Mexicans or un-Godly creatures that the Lord himself is endeavouring to punish.

At what point do we stop calling America a civilized country and call it out as an intemperate international hooligan and wastrel. This recession was made, sealed, and delivered by the very people who are now lying in the Arizona sun, casually dispensing with their retirement days. These nabobs of consumerism, who to this day remain contemptuous of anyone who dares to challenge their pseudo-religious doctrine of low-taxes, unregulated capital, and maximum warfare, are to blame for this economic disaster.  The children of Saint Ronnie and his revolution of personal irresponsibility have had their gluttonous feast and are now more than happy to have someone else's children pay the bill.
