Republicans Are Offering Americans Nothing, Literally Nothing

[Toddsterpatriot]

Or the $200 anyone with natural gas will pay extra this winter. Thanks Biden, and fuck his supporters.

Only $200 extra?

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.

Voters have a choice between a Party that takes their orders from China (Democrats) and a Party that does not (Republicans). Pretty simple choice.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is the GOP tax system of the last 30 years, where the rich pay the same percentage in all taxes as you do and make out like bandits....

Why are the demtwats so useless?

Have not paid a lot of attention but what I have heard is nothing new. Regardless of who controls congress gas prices and inflation will remain unaffected. Inflation and gas prices will come down as the Fed continues to raise interest rates making the cost of expanding businesses, buying houses, autos, and personal loans more expensive. Businesses will contract resulting in layoffs, and consumers buying will decrease and demand for goods and services will falls till it matches supply, and prices will fall without congress doing anything at all.

[struth]

By "fixed" you mean they took away some of the means by which Obamacare was paid for, thereby adding more to our debt.

Well done!

We did not have double digit unemployment under Obama, you unbelievably ignorant dumbass.

Unemployment dropped every year of Obama's regime.

haha well taking away the illegal healthcare punishment. was one thing, but sadly they couldn’t undo all the cost obamacare gave us

The smell of extreme desperation.

Smells like shit.

 

[Anathema]

What are taxes for?

To pay for the running of the Nation. That is comprised of the 17 specific items listed in Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution; none of which allow for support of individual citizens or businesses.

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

You are correct. I am against probably 80% if non-military spending and at least half of our military spending.

Why do leftists always have to lie?
The middle class got a huge tax cut.
To answer my own question…… because they have nothing.

 

[Anathema]

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

You're not a very good American at all, are you?

I am a believer in the strictest possible reading of the US Constitution. You quote the preamble to that document… a section with no actual power to it. I prefer Article I, Section 8; which lays out the powers of Congress (which are extremely limited); and the Tenth Amendment, which indicates any power not specifically granted to the Federal Government doesn’t belong to them.
