Republicans Are Offering Americans Nothing, Literally Nothing

[skews13]

If you were asked to name one substantive policy or initiative passed by Republicans during 2016-2018, the last time they held sway in the House, Senate and Executive Branch, the only answer would be their huge tax giveaway to the nation’s corporations and wealthiest individuals in 2017. Tax cuts for the very rich — and by “rich,” we are talking about the wealthiest 1% of all Americans — have been the singular foundation of all GOP policy for the past five decades. All of the noise and histrionics about so-called social issues (abortion, immigration, gun ownership) has simply been a useful vehicle to accomplish that solitary imperative: cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Conversely, any policy or effort by Democrats to legislate benefiting the remaining 99% of the American population has been met with stiff and unyielding opposition.

But on the very rare occasions when Republican candidates for office are required to articulate exactly what their policies would be if elected, that dominant, exclusive goal of tax cuts for corporations and the nation’s uber-wealthy is oddly never mentioned. Instead, we are treated to a seemingly never-ending litany of imagined Democratic evils and appeals to voters’ base fears and grievances (which for the most part boil down to racism and xenophobia). When a Republican candidate loudly declares we must “Close the borders,” for example, he’s not talking about denying Texas businesses the 1.1 million undocumented workers those same businesses eagerly hire to reduce their operating costs and obligations to pay a living wage to their employees. Because that would swiftly wipe out Texas’s service, agricultural and construction economy which, along with the economies of most Southwestern states, relies on exploiting those undocumented workers so its businesses can stay afloat. In this way “immigration” simply serves as a shiny object for their voters to angrily focus on while Republicans drain the nation’s treasury for the benefit of their corporate donor base.

Beyond the “close the border” tripe (and fearmongering about guns and abortion, hot-button topics trotted out in service of the same end goal of gutting corporate taxes) what exactly do Republicans have to offer Americans that will actually, tangibly make their lives better? The answer is: literally nothing.

You don't expect the 1% to pay taxes on those inflationary prices they're charging do you?

At this point anything but what dems are doing would work.

It’s not the job of Government to offer the people anything. It is the job of Government to get out of the way and allow individuals to make the best for themselves.

I take it, then, you are opposed to the $1.4 trillion in annual tax expenditures the government hands out, most of which were enacted by Republicans.

Gee, it almost sounds like you're using propaganda to influence the coming election. If you want to do that, just remember that we have a special day for you propagandists to vote. It's on Saturday.

To punish success. The serfs in the Middle Ages weren't taxed like this.

You are the government. And thats exactly what your job is.

But to do that, we'd have to get rid of all the democrats.

Republicans are offering a stop to this madness... we are 35 Trillion in debt.... the dems stopped Trump from refilling our reserves at $29 a barrel and its now at over $70 and climbing as Joe empties our oil reserves... the GOP doesn't have to say shit in order to win big...

WTF is going on in the Biden/democrat administration when they can't defend their own policies and instead engage in a fantasy scenario? Times are tough for democrats and the true believers are a strange bunch.
