I believe it is. Our country seems to be veering to the left. Why?
I find it very hard to believe it's based on free shit. Not enough Americans are on the public dole to make up for the shift. The left has been successful with their message communication. Be it good or bad we are behind the curve.
I remember getting out of prison with 100 dollars (parole money) and thinking I couldn't wait to get a job and start my life. From being TOTALLY suppoeted by the tax payer to being TOTALLY independent and successful.No other feeling matches being self reliant and knowing I have options I can persue because of conservative values.
Almost makes me think that people have been coddled for so long they have no concept of their own potential.
You know why you guys are becoming irrelevant? Because all you worry about is cutting taxes for rich people. You seem to have no interest in correcting the steadily stagnating wage structure of American workers. This has been happening since Ronald Reagan's "supply side economics," and it is becoming apparent that it was really just a way to fuck over Americans and get rid of labor unions.
This is the "message" part I was talking about.
I don't think or feel that way. The tax cuts were across the board cuts yet they are SUCCESSFULLY labeled cuts for the rich.
And I'd like this discussion to be broad rather than degrade to an argument over one talking point.
Yeah, sure- -then to make up for the shortfall they raise the payroll taxes until they aremore than income taxes, and the states raise fees for EVERYTHING (and local taxes), until the rich triple their wealth while the rest and the country are screwed (NO DEMAND)...
