Republicans state your case: why do you think your party cares about the middle class and poor?

[Billy000]

Don't give answers like "well they are better than democrats!" I want actual examples of policies. Convince the rest of us your party cares more about this country than simply catering to their rich donors.

Why do republicans do jack shit about our infrastructure crisis? How about refusing to invest more in public education? You do know, of course, the ONLY way to fix these problems is by raising taxes on the wealthy/corporations. That is where our main source of revenue comes from. Corporate profits and the wealthy class are more powerful than ever before. Why shouldn't we raise their taxes?

In reality it will not harm the economy. Why? Because the shrinking middle class is the driving force of the economy - not the "job creators". These "job creators" depend on consumer spending from the middle class and poor. Shifting most of the tax burden to the wealthy class isn't about what's fair, it's about what's realistic. That is how our economy thrives. Revenue as a percentage of GDP was at 20% in 2000 which was when our economy was thriving. During the recession it was at 15%. How do you explain that?

Reagan economics is a lie. Why do you vote for these scumbags who won't let it go?

Why do you cheer them cutting food stamps - a mere 70 billion per year- yet say nothing about the 100s of billions of revenue dollars they give to corporate welfare?

What have republicans of today ever done for the middle class? Obama is responsible for the biggest middle class tax cut since the Reagan era. Where is your outrage over that?

More people are out of work and on welfare since O took office. Perhaps you should explain why this has happened under a democrat.

He inherited the biggest recession since the Great Depression. The main reason why people are discouraged from finding a job is how low wages are. He tried to fix this problem by raising the minimum wage. Why not blame the job creators for this problem? They are wealthier now than ever before.

Your response is predictable. I ask about republicans and you bring up Obama. Typical.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

After gaining control of media and the education system, the first thing evil men try to destroy in "fundamentally changing" any nation is the middle class, if it is not already in dire straits.

Then they can ride in on their white horse and save everyone with their "new deals" and "great societies" and stuff. It's an old game.

The problem is, most people think in terms of weeks and months. Evil men think in terms of decades and centuries. For them, the endgame is all that matters.

i know republicans who do....as for the party,its how they defend themselves,they are terrible at it,they will say they do and then come off saying something that looks like they cant stand the people....its the same how they talk about minorities....they are just terrible at defending themselves.....look how trump said what he said about Mexicans....he could have said that better and not come off looking like a racist jerk....

Wow, what an original reply that was. Try coming up with something besides left-wing talking points from MSDNC and the left-stream media.

Neither party cares about the middle class or poor. The Democrats are just better about lying how they are for the middle class and poor, and they have their stenographers in the media to make enough people believe their lies are true.

The only thing separating the Democrat party and Republican Party is the butt crack.

lol how about you explain what makes them liberal talking points rather than objectives facts. Nothing I said is false information.

Call dems self interested if you want, but they actually push policies that benefit the poor and middle class.

It's called "buying votes". The only advancement the lower classes have made under Democrat policies is that the amount of taxpayer cash given them gratis has increased.

Obama did not cause the recession. Everyone I know is working and doing well. That was not the case when Obama was first elected.

Youre missing the point. Yeah, I agree dems only care about themselves but they still push policies benefitting the middle class and poor. Who cares WHY they push these policies.

1) Extending unemployment benefits to the millions who lost their jobs during the recession.

2) Attempting to raise the min wage to a reasonable level.

3) Food stamps to poor families with one or more children. (By the way, raising the min wage would dramatically fix this problem)

4) Significant tax cuts for the middle class.

5) Expanding eligibility for over time pay

From 2001 to 2008, millions of jobs were moved to China and over 40,000 factories were permanently closed. I guess that makes Bush a Democrat. More GOP revisionist history.

Their policies have no logic, they're all emotion and fear-based all for the benefit of the Denocratic party. Gotta love how logical and successful LBJ's and the Democrats 'war on poverty' has been. LOL

[whitehall]

You need to defend Barry's "hope/change" first. The short version is that republicans want to put Americans to work while it's obvious that democrats want to put Americans on the dole. Which is better, a freaking job or three years of unemployment? Now Barry Hussein wants to add another burden on American industry with more emissions restrictions and has shut down most of the coal energy in the U.S. while China is building a coal based energy plant every freaking week.
