Do you value freedom? Freedom of Choice? Personal Freedom? Freedom of Speech? Freedom of thought? Freedom of personal responsibility?
Democrats are 100% against Freedom. I will prove this.
Let’s start at the local level. Do you think Harley riders voted for helmets? According to Democrats Harley riders are not smart enough to decide whether they should wear a helmet or not. This kind of law takes the personal decision away from the user because they think they know better. This is the mindset of the Democrat. They will tell you what is right for you.
Let’s say you own a restaurant. Should you as an owner get to decide what kind of food you serve? Of course. Should you get to decide your dress code policy? I should hope so. Then why would you not get to decide your own smoking policy? There would be some non smoking restaurants and some smoking restaurants. Shouldn’t it be up to the owner? This is a freedom that you as a business owner give up. These are the kinds of policies the Dems want to make for you.
Healthcare - The government wants to control your healthcare. You are not smart enough. They know what is better for you and your family, right? Sure! They will control your healthcare and help regulate what your health insurance will and will no cover. You do not need to decide which policy if right for you.
Economics – Democrats also think they know economics better than you do. What if you can’t pay your bills , you just open another credit card, right? Then, if you still can’t pay your bills, then you just open another credit card right? Why not just keep opening credit cards up? Isn’t that what the Democrat government is doing? They just keep spending and open up new credit cards. Right now they are trying to increase the debt ceiling (aka asking for more credit).
There are other issues – like gun control, shutting down Fox News, etc. etc. etc. – regulation, regulation regulation.
Big Government or Freedom you cannot have both.
Now there are a few reasons to vote Democrat:
1. You are too stupid to make our own decisions and you need the government to decide for you.
2. You want the handout the Dems want dish out.
3. You are a complete socialist and have not learned that Socialism continues to fail time and time again.
Don’t be a moron. Never ever ever ever vote Democrat
I'll give it a stab.
Helmet laws. Currently voluntary on the state level. 3 states have none, 27 have it only for minors and 20 are mandatory. Anyone that rides without one is a suicidal idiot in reality and should be left on the road when they, inevitably, meet the pavement. Any idea of the party affiliations of the original 1967 proposal? And why single out Harleys? Should only rice burners ride safely?
Smoking. Vast citizenry movement to implement bans on local and state levels. Not a partisan issue at all. If you have a Libertarian bent, would you prefer that all non-smokers sue smokers and the businesses that allow it for damages?
Healthcare. The same remedies are available with gov funded healthcare as you currently have if your employers healthcare or your private policy don't meet your current needs. Buy a different policy or pay retail. The retail market will never go away.
Economics. If I can't pay my bills I get another job and increase my income. The GOP has refused to do so and prefers to put it on the credit card and has been since Ronnie "Deficits Don't Matter" Reagan. I certainly wouldn't quit my full-time job for a part-time job like Bush did while spending billions on unnecessary wars for Islamic freedom.
If you think that safety regulation is anti-freedom, I've got a sweet regulation-free factory in China you can enjoy. You have no idea how free you are.
