Wealthy people also buy politicians to tilt the game in their favor. Look at the dozen or so billionaires pouring money into the Mitt Romney campaign. What is they expect to get? Do some research. It's not like they've been quiet about it. And before you go "But but but DEMOCRATS HAVE BILLIONAIRES TOO", forget about the Democrats. What is it Republicans are supporting? Don't be blind. If you can't say what it is, you don't know.
The only thing they hope to get is a free country. Has it ever occurred to you that no everyone has an ulterior motive? Of course not. You're a liberal. You assume everyone is a conniving scumbag just like you.
You haven't really convinced yourself of that, have you? Like Texas billionaire Harold Simmons, who is supporting Mitt because he hopes to get safety regulations overturned so he can increase the size of his nuclear waste dump by a factor of 100.
Increasing it by a factor of 100 might make it as big as a typical gas station. Has it ever occured to you that these so-called "safety regulations" are really just more EPA bullshit intended to shut down the nuclear industry? Of course not, because that would take a brain.
How many do you want me to post. These guys haven't been quiet about what they expect to get back. It's easy to look it up. But should I be vetting your candidate? Shouldn't that be your job?
You haven't posted one yet.
Hint, what did Romney mean when he said less policemen, firemen and teachers?
Simple: we don't need more of them. We need more private businesses.
Come on. I just want to hear you guys say it. You know it's true and we know it's true. Just admit your leadership puts millionaires and billionaires above all other Americans.
You can't hide that corporations are making historic profits. The DOW has doubled. Only demand creates jobs. You know these things to be true, right? At least admit that.
Now, if there is no demand, no jobs will be created. Tax cuts only work for people who have jobs. Admit that too.
So, is there a Republican Plan to get money into the pockets of the Middle Class? In the past, that was done by rebuilding the country. But we spent that money in Iraq, so Republicans say "That's out".
So you guys have no plan. Right. Come on. Either admit it or tell us the "plan".

Does it really matter? I say that because the pattern has long been established. If (or more likely when) the middle class is eventually decimated by conservative policies that favor the wealthy (increasingly wealthy, I should say), conservatives will just find some kind of narrative to blame liberals for the problem, regardless of how farfetched and ridiculous it sounds. If you don't believe that's possible, look how they blamed the housing market collapse on the inner city poor and the CRA of 1977.
All politicians are capable of changing a rational for an argument, but the Democrats don't hold a candle to Republicans when it comes to sheer chutzpa when it comes to fingering imaginary bogeymen.

oh brother..first you ask about what Republicans are doing for people, then you go off into this..I won't bother answering anything you ask again
You said: "funny thing, I don't need OR WANT Republicans to make things happen for me, I proudly do all that on my own.."
This implies that you don't want and will presumably never need assistance. I'm hear to tell you that unless you're privately wealthy, that's increasingly unlikely.
What utter horseshit. The vast majority of people never need assistance. Do you know anyone who's ever been on welfare? I don't.

Yeah, I've known some. I used to design assistive devices and lots of people who used them were on welfare. I currently know a widow with three kids and not much in the way of jobs skills. Shit happens.
But short of welfare, I know and know of a lot of people who were blindsided by the economic downturn. They at least need some unemployment benefits.
I am middle class so I guess I dont care about myself
Either you can't answer or we take you at your word.
