At the height of the Great Depression in 1933 nearly 25% of the
U.S. work force was unemployed (almost 13 million people). Today in
2011 nearly 10% of the U.S. work force is unemployed (over 14
million people), and another 14 million are trying to survive on
part-time low-paying jobs. They're called the "under-employed."
Millions aren't even included in the (U-3) unemployment rate. We
have approximately 16% of the "participating work force" that are
jobless in America. Millions more are trying to survive on no
income at all. By the end of this year there could be almost 10
million desperate Americans struggling to pay their rent. They're
called the "99ers" (or exhaustees"), those who have exhausted all
their unemployment benefits. Now the Republicans have been busy
trying to cut or reduce unemployment benefits, food stamps,
Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security...and they couldn't
wait...it had to be done right now...in the middle of The Great
Recession, with so many people out of work. So then, how will the
99ers survive? After the economy tanked in 2008, I was laid off
from my job and never found gainful employment again. And like most
other "conservative Republicans" (such as Glenn Beck, Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly), I too had blamed the
Democrats - - - and then later, Obama. Of course, back then I would
have blamed Obama for my headache, not realizing at the time that
it was the constant ranting and raving on Fox News that was giving
me my headache. The Republicans today (especially the radical Tea
Party "Patriots") aren't "uniters," but dividers - - - and they are
ripping this nation apart., doing the exact opposite of what
Lincoln would do. The Tea Party today reminds me more of the old
Southern Dixicrats. And it's become all too apparent to anyone in
2011 that ALL the Republicans only represent the very wealthy and
the largest of multi-national corporations, not the common citizen
- the small business owner or worker. Democrats represent real
people. I finally opened my eyes after 30 years of being a
Republican. For ten years I too once watched Fox News and also
believed everything they told me. The title of this book doesn't
refer to ALL Republican voters, but primarily to the GOP leadership
and their enablers. As for the book's cover, many people might
think it depicts my rage and murderous desires to kill Republicans.
But after reading the book, you decide who's stabbing who in the
back. The title of the painting is aptly named "Treachery," and it
is apropos in that I had felt totally betrayed by the political
party I once affiliated with. And it common knowledge that Fox News
promotes the Republican's agenda (and their presidential
candidates), and is NOT a genuine "news" channel, just because
sometimes they report the news, sports, and weather. The day that
Glenn Beck accused me of being a socialist and un-American, and of
just wanting a government hand-out, was the very last straw for me.
It was then that I had had enough of him, the Republicans, Fox
News, and the Tea Party. I've learned that after being a devout
Republican all my working life, it wasn't the Democrats, but the
Republicans who had been destroying the middle-class and this
economy...and they almost destroyed me too. That's why I hate
Republicans and the Fox News Channel.
