You should return to reality and look what the republicans have been doing and simply look at their endgame. Cut back on help for education, help for those who are down on their luck, remove workers rights, remove any regulation that doesn't help big business. Cut tax rates to %0 for the very rich, remove min wage, make everyone else pay for everything. Let businesses out of contracts that they negotiated so that they didn't have to lose short term profits, then when profits return the top take all the profits.
Try to not live in your delusional world where democrats are wanting the middle class to pay for handouts for the rich.
Lets address each one of your talking points one by one. Republicans want to cut education? When have they ever successfully done such a thing And do they really mean it? I dont believe for a second Republicans will cut education in any meaningful way. And please explain to me how govt driving up the cost of education helps the middle class?
Worker rights? Like what? Having a union require you be a member and pay dues regardless if you want to join one? Oh the humanity. Allowing people to have choice.
I know democrats like to believe regulation hurts big business. But it doesnt. It is a barrier to entry for small shops as the costs to adhere to said regulation is out of reach. That is why you will see Walmart support things like Obamacare or min wage laws. They can absorb those costs far easier than Pauls hardware shop down the road.
Please show me one republican that has introduced legislation that will reduce the rich's tax burden to 0%. In the mean time familiarize yourself on the tax brackets since 1980 for the middle and lower classes. And the % of federal income tax the bottom 50% of workers are paying over that same time.
I personally dont have a problem with min wage laws. But they affect such a small % of the workforce(~2%) they arent even worth debating imo.
What world do you live within? Havent you been paying attention on who got what bailouts over the past 4 years? Dont lecture about delusion when hundreds of billions were given out to the rich under a democrat president and super majority democrat congress.
