9. Who's going to take up the slack???

What do we have to do? Have two separate governments to serve Democrats and Republicans?
Call us The Ununited States of America? Or just The States of America?
Or The Democratic People? and The Republican People?
This kind of government has got to end. It's too savage under Republican rule.
Robbing from the poor to give to the rich. Something's got to give! But what?

Somebody's going to have to take up the slack. Churches? The Democratic Party? We can't
let the misfortunate just drop dead or be turned into criminals to survive. Food Pantries can
become Food Pantry Warehouses, which could include clothing, both from donations from the
communities. Who can help with their utilities? Foundations? What is the evil party going to do
to their housing?

I hope some kind person(s) in high places are thinking about these questions, because I think
the shite is getting ready to hit the giant proverbial fan.
