In terms of self-worth, yes obviously. Why would you think I would believe otherwise? You're getting weighed down by semantics here.What does that even mean?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.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?
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.
Move onto what? You haven't explained why I wrong.Time to move on, Bud. But thanks for confirming.Well the truth doesnt change over the decades.I could swear I've heard this OP somewhere before. Oh yeah, about a thousand times in the 60's.

I have. Progressivism represents the 21st century, not conservatism. Surely you would figure that out by now.Time to move on to the 21st century.Move onto what?

I have to say I just don't understand why anyone below the top 1% of earners vote republican.
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.

One does not need to be in the top 1% to desire the opportunity to make an honest living, and to therefore prefer the party whose policies have the intent and effect of making these opportunities more plentiful, over the party that just wants to take from a dwindling number of productive workers in order to give handouts to the idle and lazy.

By voting Republican, you are saddled with poverty for all but the top 5%. Wages have stagnated and wealth has steadily flowed to the top since Reagan reworked the tax code.
The New Deal tax code instituted by Roosevelt and in place until 1980 helped all Americans to prosper.
I love how you use the least successful socialist countries for you examples. Try Canada, the Scandinavian Countries, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, any of those socialist hellholes with their higher quality of life, health and well being.

Wages stagnated because Democrats are ushering in all these foreigners who take jobs for less money than what Americans will work for. Democrats are counting the votes already as they push to eventually make these Hispanics legal while selling out America. It's why we are turning into a bilingual nation.
95% of this country is not in poverty, it's no wonder you're a liberal. People are doing better with Santa Clause in the White House than they can do working. They have their HUD house in the suburbs, their Obama Phone, their SNAP's card, free medical care. Why work?
Now we have over 93 million Americans of working age not working. This is the most since the early 70's.
This is true.The mainstream GOP recognizes a solid minority of its party is uneducated, malignant, racist, and ethnocentric, just as a solid minority of the Dems were such in the early 1960s. Those people left to join the GOP and poisoned it. They will have to be forced out of the party.
Yeah, but, they really are for the people. I'm sure of it. Rilly, rilly sure of it.YOU do realize Bill and Hillary Clinton are the TOP 1/10th of 1% right?
Nothing wrong with that. At least she tried to get health care for all Americans back in the 90's. Republicans only want to fuck us over.YOU do realize Bill and Hillary Clinton are the TOP 1/10th of 1% right?
At this point, I say take away their subsidies and make them pay the same percentage.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.
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.
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.We vote because if you socialist idiots win we are saddled with nothing but poverty.

It was certainly part of it, son, and you are a fool to deny it.Taxing the wealthy does not harm the economy.

Why do you liberals even attempt to talk about economic theory when you obviously don't understand it, Billy? The reason that there was great economic growth in the 50's was that World War II had just ended and much of the rest of the world was still digging itself out from the rubble...we were booming because our infrastructure was intact...it WASN'T because tax rates were high on the wealthy!
I'm not saying higher taxes on the wealthy is the reason. I'm saying there was economic growth despite this fact. That's what matters. The middle class was thriving is why.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.

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?
