Who's getting what is (was) in your wallet?!
I strongly believe that a huge percentage of
people who vote Republican, do so because of their anger over giving
low-income people financial assistance...or, as I hear it from people:
"giving THOSE people part of my paycheck for sitting around and watching
TV all day, while they spend my money on $400 sneakers and lobster
dinners".
But they seem to overlook how their adopted party gives way more attention and benefits to the uber-wealthy:
NEWS ITEM: Republicans will vote Wednesday on a bill repealing the estate tax. WaPo: "A tax cut that would exclusively benefit individuals with wealth of more than $5.4 million and couples with wealth of more than $10.9 million. That’s a tax break for only the 5,500 wealthiest households in the country each year... Never in the history of plutocracy has so much been given away to so few who need it so little. This is the ultimate perversion of the tea party movement, which began as a populist revolt in 2009 but has since been hijacked by wealthy and corporate interests."
As I (believe I) have observed previously - there are people who vote Republican because of their outrage over the government helping the poor...and there are people who vote Democrat because of our outrage over the government helping the rich. Which side are you proudest to support?
