A Day in the Life of Joe Republican after deregulation
Joe doesn't get up in the morning because the electric company that privatized the electric grid thought it would be more profitable to create an Enron-style scam to create rolling blackouts to reroute the power elsewhere and charge the area Joe lives in even more. Sorry, Joe!

Several hours later, Joe wakes up. He can't eat his favorite cereal because he just heard it's infested with disease. But he applauds the company that makes the cereal because he knows it was able to at least get the FDA off it's back.

Joe heads out to work, his car doesn't work, if only there was some kind of organizations that made sure he wasn't being sold lemons, he thought. And there are no buses. Joe will have to carpool. He will be very, very late.

Joe's company doesn't seem to mind though. It's too busy making unlimited donations to help put people into office, people who don't mind cutting away at the other horrible "socialist" things that protects Joe's life, liberties, and finances. As long as there's no more "federal fascist Marxist Nazi Communism Socialism" in our government, eh Joe?

After work, Joe takes a taxi to see his father. His father has recently come into hard times; his social security was privatized and he sent that what he saved and a nest egg to some "Bernie" guy. If only there was some sort of commission that had more power to investigate things like this. He gives his father some money and calls another taxi go go home.

As he rides home, he hears about an oil rig explosion and how there was no oversight over the safety of the rigs. Joe then screams "Where is the stupid socialist government at? Why isn't it helping to protect us against these things?!!!"

1. Great Post! Poor dumbass conservatives...
There are millions of dumb conservatives clueless of what a pure capitalistic society would look like... But they don't have the brains to envision the consequences of their "Conservative Utopian World"

2. Joe's employed?
Seems TEH FREE MARKETZ would have taken care of Joe's job, which, according to the people he worships, "isn't his God-Given Right".
