Not soon enough

Here’s a quote from the Republican response to the President’s State of the Union address:

We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have nots; we must always be a nation of haves and soon to haves.

I’m surprised that anything so truthful slipped out. In order for the rich to stay rich, some Americans must always be “soon to haves.” The “haves” won’t work for minimum wage.

Mitch Daniels might as well have said “you aren’t unemployed; you’re just soon to work. And please don’t say uninsured; you’re just soon to be able to afford health care…”

When will Americans hold the GOP accountable for its greed and hypocrisy? Hopefully soon.
