The name's Riley. I make music. I've come to find that a lot of people suck. If you don't suck; congratulations, I want to know you, so follow me. |
And yet again, I find myself right back where I started…Or maybe just realizing that I never even started to begin with.

Even Jesus said to pay your taxes…Today the Republican controlled house passed Paul Ryan’s budget (with no votes from the democrats). This budget cuts everything from food stamps, to child day care programs, Medicaid, retirement benefits, and more. 40 percent of the cuts are in programs for low and moderate income people. 200,000 kids will no longer receive school meals. While only weeks ago the republicans filibustered the ‘Buffett rule’ which would have insured that the richest Americans pay at least the same amount of taxes as the lower classes. It would have raised money that could have helped to prevent a lot of these things that Paul Ryan’s budget (which the catholic commented on saying that jesus wouldn’t have even approved of it, not kidding you) are going to cut. Many Americans are going to be hurt by this, and yet they want to give breaks to the wealthiest? I’m not looking for any sort of debate on this. I’m just airing my disappointment in the heartlessness of this decision today. This cannot come to fruition. This is not what our country needs.
