Why would the working class support the Republican Party? To do so would be to vote against their own interests.

The working class wants policies that are favorable for creating private sector jobs - which is the opposite of what is promoted by Obamanomics.
Like working for Wal Mart?
Dickie, instead of parroting the mantra of the Party, why the fuck don't you find out why the GOP voted against.... and ya know, the Dems really should be able to pass shit without needing the GOP to hold their hand.
Repeating a reported news item, from an action yesterday, is parroting a mantra of the party? Someone must have dropped me from the mantra e-mail list.
I know exactly why they voted against it. To please the corporations which they work for. Do you, or do you not support, using tax payer money to subsidize corporations sending jobs overseas? If American job creation is a goal, these subsidies should have been gone a long time ago. Instead they grew when the GOP had both branches.
What exactly is the GOP strategy for job creation? According to their talking points its to cut taxes to the top brackets and cut the deficit, with zero specifics. Nope, what they blocked was even the ability to debate the merits of the proposed bill, which had concrete steps to facilitate the creation of private sector jobs.
That is not why they voted against it. Try again.

That's exactly why they voted against it. They claimed that it would increase taxes by $200 billion, but those were really removing the $200 billion in incentives that the American tax payer is contributing to subsidize outsourcing jobs overseas. Just because they moved their libs, doesn't mean that people with two synapses to rub together can't see they're lying and diverting.

What exactly do they expect will happen in the immediate future which will benefit their "working class" lives?
I'm geniunely puzzled.
With repubs taking the house, you will see an immediate improvement in business and consumer confidence.
In other words democrats will no longer be able to make back room deals, limit debate and bribe members.
Oh I see. So Republicans have never been guilty of that. Got it.
As far as businesses that have been sitting on their cash waiting for Democrats to get kicked out so that their taxes will remain the same, how wonderful that they will prove what I've been saying all along: The corporations run this country; not the people. They will open up a few jobs, then be right back where they were mid-2000's trying to cut wages and benefits. Watch it happen.
Here's the little bit about a Constitution which protect individual rights which the lefties like to ignore: forming a gang to take away an unpopular person's rights based upon pea green envy shouldn't be allowed.

In other words, you disagree with them so you've decided why they voted against it. OK. Got it.
You're an idiot.
most countries without the disparity have no rich to talk of.
No way I'm believing even most economist know about sweden's income distribution much less everyday Americans.
Despite the hate from the turbo-libs most middle class Americans aspire to be rich, and they are sick and tired of the rich being arrow catchers.
MaggieMae, Propaganda is very powerful when repeated over and over again.
Joe Bageant has an interesting perspective on this.

Like the GOP blocking a bill that removes the tax incentives for moving jobs overseas?

Actually, Maggie, it has nothing to do with that. A lame duck congress stops either side from fucking up. That can create the stability required to increase confidence in the economy. That stability is what leads to businesses feeling confident to spend money, increasing investment and creating jobs.
You guys get all hung up about who's in bed with which party. Simple fact - business doesn't give a shit whether it's a Dem or a GOP POTUS. They need stability.
The reason that business isn't spending is nothing to do with either party - it is because business pays attention to economists... and economists are predicting a double dip recession.
If people would stop ranting about the other 'side' and look at all the facts, instead of cherry picking the ones that fit their own view, we might get some intelligent debate. But that's not gonna happen here.

I give up. Why, then?
For heavens sake, go find out, you lazy ass. Stop expecting to be spoon fed. Go and look hard at the FACTS and try thinking critically about the bill. Take off the partisan glasses and concentrate. It's not hard.
Unfortunately, we do have classes now:
The private sector class that pays the taxes vs. the public sector/Big Government class that consumes our taxes.
