Saturday

decide what freedoms you are allowed. These members were handpicked by rich GOP barons who run think tanks designed to keep their wealth and to chain the lower classes. The richest in the US decide what privileges you can have.

As George Carlin once said: "Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges."
