The pick pretty much proves that the ol&#8217; Spiffer doesn&#8217;t give a rat&#8217;s ass about the middle class or moderates and if he and Mr. &#8216;Starve the Guvment, Feed the Rich&#8217; Ryan get into office, we can look forward to reliving those glorious years of the Middle Ages when feudalism held sway over humans everywhere.
