So what is your theory, as to why the republicans want to shut down the government?

This whole shut down has me curious. I don’t believe them to really want to do something this crazy without a real goal in mind.

They are republican and most of them would never understand what it means to be poor, so I can’t see them wanting to tank their own investments, nor do they want to tank their careers.
So they have to have a way out of this already planned. Probably planned from the beginning and Ted Cruz was the designated sucker. It had to be him because his name is Cruz.
So this is my conspiracy theory.

This was their plan all along. This is what is going to happen. They are costing the government millions of dollars a day to include the stock market taking a hit. Then come, 2014 they are going to raise taxes on everyone except corporations and the rich, (because they are going to get money back from losing money on the stock exchange) so that they can get back on their feet.

They are going to blame Obama-care for the tax increase and the democrats for making this expensive venture pass. But the reality will be that all the monetary damage done was from the shut down. There plan is to make wanting Obama-care too expensive for the public to support and to find a way to give corporations and rich fat cats a large tax break.

So come 2014 the middle class will hate the higher taxes they are paying and the whole year will be a campaign by the republicans on how Obama-care is the cause of higher taxes and how we all will be paying them for years to come. It will all be because of the democrats but not the long lasting effect of the shut down. They get the middle class to vote for them next year because they will not be the ones mostly using Obama care and no matter what the reason, they can’t afford the higher taxes to go on since inflation will increase at the same time.

So what is your theory?
