Why people vote Republican

People vote Republican because they like paying higher taxes so the idle rich can pay less.

You actually paid higher taxes under dimwitcrap administrations.
 
Many of them are simply confused.
"Finally, Cornell University’s Suzanne Mettler points out that many beneficiaries of government programs seem confused about their own place in the system. She tells us that 44 percent of Social Security recipients, 43 percent of those receiving unemployment benefits, and 40 percent of those on Medicare say that they “have not used a government program.”

Social Security, Unemployment Insurance and Medicare are all paid into by the recipients. Welfare and Food Stamps are not. That is what those people meant. I don't care what kind of dickweed propaganda you want to try and make out of it.

I also want to see where she got these supposed statistics. They look made up to me.
hmmmmmmm, really?

I guess that's why unemployment payments are adding to the deficit big time and why medicare is adding to the deficit big time as well....cuz they are ''paid for''......right?

NOT!!!

your point falls flat, doesn't it?

Care
 
Not arguing that, I think the point was about republican beliefs. Just because they haven't been able to implement their beliefs doesn't change what they desire. And todays conservative republicans are louder than ever with their wishes for a "purely free market", free from regulation and government oversight. Just because they don't get what they want doesn't mean they didn't want it in the first place.
I keep hearing about this alleged Republican desire for a "purely free market", but I've never seen any substantiation.

Is it just one of those things "everybody knows"?

Yes, everybody but you:
The GOP's Deregulation Obsession | The Nation
GOP: ‘Deregulate Wall Street!’ - The Washington Post
Opinions are not facts. Got any facts?
 
WTF are you talking about, moron dittohead? I never did anything of the sort. But I'm sure you called teachers in Wisconsin thugs, like your bought off a-hole heroes Fox/Rush/Beck. Change the channel-hoping for your recovery, hater/troll..:lol:

you fucking lying sack of shit....you called "our guys" in Vietnam thugs.....whats the matter Frankie aint got the balls to stand up for what YOU said....fucking pussy....

So you're a lying POS And a moron. The only people I call thugs are 18th century assassins in India...ASSHOLE fecking TROLL.

you haven't got the balls to stand up for what you said.....i kinda figured that.....you called "our guys" in Vietnam THUGS you fucking piece of dehydrated shit......

The problem is that cons continually tell us that half of all Americans are on the dole, but then they try to tell us the only ones they are talking about are the ones on welfare and food stamps. Well, which is it?

As for there being more people on public assistance, well look at the unemployment rate. The arguments that we constantly hear from the right just fail when it comes to logic.

Because they are stupid.

Rank and file Republicans want to pay higher taxes, so the idle rich can pay less.
you have something proving that?....or is this just more idle Chris talk?.....

Hello!.. Republicans oppose rising taxes on the rich -- can you figure out who will pick up the tab?


Can you figure out that if you'd stop spending like a drunk sailor on liberty there wouldn;t be such a big tab to pay??

The following is from: http://www.alternet.org/module/feed/mobile/?storyID=154175&type=story

Most Republican presidents of the last century were more “socialistic” than Barack Obama. Eisenhower built the federal highway system and presided over the IRS when the top marginal tax rate for high earners was 91 percent.

Nixon proposed a minimum guaranteed income for all Americans, which he called a “negative income tax," without any Clinton-era preconditions like "workfare." It would have applied to all families with children, and passed Congress but failed in the Senate. Nixon also imposed wage and price controls in 1971to control inflation. These controls, while not considered traditionally “socialistic,” were a radical imposition of state control over the private-sector economy.

Even Herbert Hoover, who presided over the Crash of 1929 and is often contrasted with FDR, described himself as a “progressive.” He expanded the civil service, proposed a Department of Education and a guaranteed pension for all Americans, enlarged the national park system, ended private oil leases on government land, and formed an antitrust division within the Justice Department.

And, much as it irritates Republicans to be reminded of it, Ronald Reagan raised taxes 11 times.

Obama has proposed a reasonable $476 billion program of infrastucture repair, but he's avoided the kinds of bold initiatives put forward by his Republican predecessors: No Hoover-like litany of progressive reforms, no major public projects like Eisenhower's highways, no Nixon-style negative income tax. And he certainly hasn't responded to our ongoing economic crisis with any state interventions on the scale of Nixon's wage and price controls.

What is so funny is that you provide no context to your posts. In the first place, the presidents around these guys were a whole lot worse.....I give you FDR.

It does not irritate me at all and you don't "remind" me of it. I am all to aware of the fact that the GOP at the federal level has been guilty of the same kind of thing they accuse others of.

Your list did not include GWB who absolutely spent us into debt.

That they called themselves "republicans" is no better than me calling a chinese person "colored". They might have some color, but it means nothing to those who know the word as something different.

And what makes this even more funny is that people like Eisenhower and Nixon had different economies and world circumstances (and not a lot of debt) to deal with. So the temptation was real and the gave in.

Obama is doing stupid stuff in an economy that even his own party is worried about. You saw people like Mark Warner on the senate floor saying they should not be extending the payroll tax cut.....becasue it all has to be paid at some time.

I thought the economy was doing "better" whatever that means. Now we need to seed the next recession.

Won't be long.

This kind of article is only for those who live in a time capsule.
