Cute, self serving... If Republican party is for one thing, it's less government. The reason so many Republicans are on an anyone but Romney crusade, is Mitt has shown a propensity to increase governments role.
Now as a result of less government, does the cream rise to the top? Yes, and as a result some get rich. The direction we're currently heading however, everyone will be the same...and their children will be teaching them Chinese.
It's not cute nor self-serving.
A healthy respect for limited government is an AMERICAN value built into the core of our system, from the bill of rights designed to limit the power of government.
Republicans have tried to hijack the issue for the purpose I said, so they can get power to take everyone else's money for the few. They lie.
The Republican propaganda has more straw men than all the fields in Iowa.
It's a very basic technique - exaggerate the oponent to create an attack. If a Democrat says to be careful about executing the innocent, they're 'criminal lovers'. If a Democrats says a word about the excesses of capitalism needing to have some limits, they're communists. If a Democrats questions any war being just, they're 'providing aid and comfort to the enemy and won't protect our country'. And here, if a Democrats says the government can do anything good for the country, he's for massive bureaucracy.
Funny, Democrats have often had smaller governments than Republicans - even though a lot of Republicans oppose a lot of GOOD government.
The Republican Party is only for 'small government' as far as that means denying the democracy intended to help the people stand up to powerful interests; nd to the extent they can exploit the issue for propaganda purposes as you try to to do here, with straw men about what Democrats want.
Education for people? Republicans are for 'small government'. Healthcare for people? For 'small government'. Proetection for the environment over profits? For 'small government'.
Republicans' opposition to 'big government' is along the same lines as being in opposition to democracy at all - pretending to be 'for the people' while really being against them.
Say a powerful corporation harms people for profit - Democrats say 'that's bad, you can sue them'. Republican say, 'you want to sue the wrongdoer? Then you're for corrupt laywers! You're against free enterprise and you want to ruin the economy! We need to greatly restrict any right you have to sue, and we'll say it's for the good of the people!'
No, what I said is correct - the one and only real priority for the Republican Party is to giver everyone's wealth to the rich, returning to plutocracy. Everything else helps that.
You're wrong in your post - another straw man.
Democrat's position: Warren Buffet's secretary shouldn't pay a higher tax rate than Buffet.
Republican's straw man claim what the Democrat's position is: the Secretary should make just as much income as Warren Buffet!
Wrong. NO ONE is saying some shouldn't make more than others. That's a lie you're telling misrepresenting the Democrats' position.
Why lie? Because you have no other point to make without it.
Republicans try to lie that criticisms of the worst bad behaviors in business are an attack on capitalism. You lie that at attack on extreme and corrupt concentrations of wealth is 'wanting everyone to get the same amount'. You toss in another lie for good measure, blaming the left for corporate America's agenda for outsourcing.
All the offshoring is to benefit the owners of the corporations, the wealthy - that's the Republican agenda, and some Democrats who take the money support it as well.
