Republicans are finished in the long run. Demographics is destiny, if mass third world immigration continues at these rates, Whites will become a minority in the country our ancestors founded. Republicans may win the senate our house or both for the next couple of elections, but not in the long run due to demographics, and presidential elections will simply be out of reach. But the Republican leadership doesn't care about winning elections, they just answer to their corporate donors who lobby for even more third world coolie labor, and only care about maintaining their leadership positions in the party hierarchy. As long as they are part of the class of DC political elites, they don't care if they are a perpetual minority party.
The GOP leadership sells out its middle class and working class base for rich donors and because they know they have no where else to go. Not only this but they are cowardly on the immigration question for fear of being called racist by the Media. So GOP Leadership and their buddies in the Chamber of Commerce laugh all the way to the bank and the Democrats get their third world prole votes while the average American gets squeezed out.

P.Henry was born in Jamaica. There his father worked as a chemist. His father being left wing, voted for the Manley government, which came to power in 1972, running on popular slogans "Better must come!", "Giving power to the people" and "a government of truth". Sounds rather similar to recent slogans. "Believe" "Yes we can!" "Hope and change!".
Manley had a long background in the trade Unions. Sounds familiar again. Like having a background as a community organizer.
In 1973-74, Manley introduced minimum wage laws, free education, equal pay laws, tax levies on corporations, protectionism of high tariffs on imported goods, gun control laws, free health care, welfare and pensions, subsidized food and housing. and on and on and on.
For the next 14 years, violence, drugs, and economic decline hammered Jamaica.
Now here's the irony. P.Henry's father, found that getting materials became so impossible, and job prospects became so limited, that he packed up his family, and moved to the US. That's how P.Henry became an Economist in the US. Yet his father, once in the US, remained a left-wing voter, voting for the Democrats. The very policies that destroyed his life in Jamaica, he against supported in the US.
You in this post talk about supporting big business. You talk about selling out the working class, and the middle class.
We've seen the results of your ideology. We've seen what happens when you attack business, and give handouts to everyone else. Jamaica was ruined by people spouting your belief system.
Peter Henry wrote a paper.
You should read it. It compares the evil terrible, pro-corporate policies, selling out the working/middle class policies of Barbados, verses the anti-corporate pro-middle/working class policies of Jamaica.
Barbados has a tiny fraction of the natural resources of Jamaica, yet never crashed into ruins like Jamaica did.
