Are republican voters really just a bunch of nihilists?

[Billy000]

I have to say I just don't understand why anyone below the top 1% of earners vote republican. Republicans in office do nothing for the middle class and poor. I'm sure by now they would realize that Reagan economics has been proven over and over to be a failure. In terms of economics, there really isn't any reason to vote republican. Our crumbling infrastructure system is certainly a non issue with just about any republican. Of course if it was, they would favor a progressive tax system because that is the ONLY way to pay for fixing our infrastructure beyond racking up an even higher deficit.

I guess if you're immature enough to bitch about gay marriage then I can see why you would vote republican. You're all a bunch of middle schoolers trapped in adult bodies so of course you're going to vote for scumbags just as immature. For those that are pro-life, I can also at least comprehend why you vote republican because it is at least a divisive enough issue.

Beyond that, are the rest of you just nihilists? Rather than defend republicans, you just bitch about democrats. I mean my god why do you people even vote?

YOU do realize Bill and Hillary Clinton are the TOP 1/10th of 1% right?

We vote because if you socialist idiots win we are saddled with nothing but poverty. You always claim prosperity by taxing someone else but that never happens. Look at Venezuela they did the same thing and can't even get toilet paper to wipe their asses now. That's socialism. That's relying on taking from someone else for your benefit and ability to not work.

Taxing the wealthy does not harm the economy. The tax rate for the wealthy in the 50's was 90% yet that was a decade of great economic growth. If you want to stimulate economic growth, you help the middle class. Democrats understand that.

Maybe because we haven't deluded ourselves by pretending we are different than our neighbors simply because of the amount of money we earn.

We are not a different class of people because we earn different amounts of money. It's a trick used by those in power to divide us by stirring up pride in our hearts.

Any loserterian that bitches about the economy is honestly insane...They need to honestly admit that their economic mindset would weaken this country badly...In which case they should just accept that America won't be a world power anymore.

You can't cut infrastructure, abolish our first rate science institutions and stop all investment into r&d without hurting our place in the world. Bush and even Reagan were smart enough to understand this...Also, what is your plan for education? You do know that we bring in all these h1b's because we can't keep up with demand at this time. Need reform and we need it in away that helps increase the size of the labor poor and instead of leaving it only for the rich.

I am not talking about all republicans darkfury,,,just the ones i call loserterians that seem to think and bitch about obamas economy but doesn't seem to understand the damage they'll do to this country.

This post is coherent sure, but you hardly gave a convincing argument to vote republican.

The rich use our infrastructure(Roll big trucks over it), police, business environment and some even use what comes from tax dollar investment into r&d and science too develop the product that they sell. Think about it...why shouldn't they pay more? They use more.

I could swear I've heard this OP somewhere before. Oh yeah, about a thousand times in the 60's.

What made you think I was trying to? I was simply answering your question.

Why do you want to divide people according to their income instead of treating them all the same?

They would pay more even if the tax rate was the same across the board.

Why shouldn't we treat them equally?

I'm not demonizing anyone. I mentioned the 1% because I understand why they vote republican. I certainly don't have anything against the wealthy class. I just don't think they should be the focus of policy.

Well since the wealthy create most of the jobs, you kind of HAVE to consider them when making policy.

Well no not in this day and age because the wealthy are wealthier than ever before. Haven't you noticed that? Loopholes mean a lot too. The EFFECTIVE tax rate on the 1% alone is 23.5%. The effective tax rate on corporations is 12%. Meanwhile, the middle class is shrinking and the child poverty rate is the worst among all other developed nations.

There are no classes. Why is that so difficult to understand.

I don't know how to make that any clearer.

You aren't a different class of person from someone else because they make more or less money than they do.

Well the truth doesnt change over the decades.

In terms of self-worth, yes obviously. Why would you think I would believe otherwise? You're getting weighed down by semantics here.
