Whose side are they on?
If you vote for Republicans, whose side are you on?

When it came time to vote, Republicans sided with their billionaire benefactors. After the vote, Sanders said, “I am disappointed but not surprised that so many Republican senators opposed this common-sense approach to dealing with an overlooked national crisis.”
Youth unemployment is a crisis. According to a report from The Economic Policy Institute, youth unemployment (age 17-20) among African-American high school graduates is 51.3%. Among Hispanics, the unemployment rate for this same age group was 36.1%, and among white youths the unemployment rate was 33.8%. The nation’s young workers are in the midst of a depression level employment crisis, but Senate Republicans voted to not make the wealthiest Americans pay a penny more in taxes.
Senate Republicans demonstrated again today that ordinary Americans aren’t a priority to them.
What the Republicans in the Senate did was an absolute disgrace. The Republican presidential candidates claim that they will “fix” broken Washington, but the problem isn’t in Washington. The problem is the broken and billionaire-owned Republican Party.
