I seem to remember a guy named Reagan asking for a line item veto....a Democratic congress thought that was a horrible idea.
If you are middle class and a Republican President asks for line item veto you'd better get worried.
You say it's a Republican way to pass legislation, when the proof stares you in the face BOTH parties fingerprints are all over it. Completely ignoring other legislation that is completely Democratic sponsored.
Ask yourself this; When has a Republican politician authored or supported a bill that helped the middle class and small business WITHOUT giving a bigger boost to big corporations and the wealthy?
And you think a Democratic president is trustworthy? Maybe Bernie as he's about as honest as it gets as a politician, even if he is bat shit crazy. You put your trust in a politician, you're a fool. Note I didn't differentiate between parties.
Why not do both? Since the middle class and businesses pay for everything. Hell who do you think most of the middle class work for? You seem to fail to realize, for everyone that works in the private sector whether worker or owner it's not the government's money, it's THEIR money.
