Rep. Ed Markey calls out Republicans for selecting fat cats to be Raptured

Poor and Middle Class will not be Raptured

From time to time an extraordinary politician rises to the top and Ed Markey is one of them.  In a stirring speech on the House floor he puts the Republicans in their place by using one of their very own weapons against them.  Check out the Raw Story and ask yourself if. under the Republican plan, you would be Raptured:

In a speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) explained that Republicans only wanted the rich to go to heaven in their Rapture.

“Recently radio evangelist Harold Camping calculated that the world would end at precisely 6 p.m. on May, 21,” Markey recalled. “Well, he was wrong but much like Harold Camping’s wildly inaccurate predictions, the House Republicans have come up with their own apocalyptic vision: The Republican Rapture.”

“This budget decides who gets lifted up into the economic stratosphere and who gets left behind.”

Billionaires and oil executives will get “raptured” by the Republican plan, while students and the poor get placed in “political purgatory,” according to Markey.

Do you think you will be eligible to be Raptured under the Republican plan?
