Um do you have a link to all of this?And yet you can't give any examples of republicans helping anyone besides the wealthy class.Clearly they have not lost on every issue that matters most to the American people or they would not be getting elected. Perhaps the reason Republicans keep getting elected is because of the failures of Democrat policies and leadership.
Like I said, they get elected because Americans are dumb. They would rather buy into the abysmal Fox News propaganda and listen to flowery speeches about freedom and warm apple pie that mean nothing.
I've got some examples:
Bush and the GOP Legislature created the 10% tax bracket. That was huge for the working class.
Bush and the GOP Legislature greatly expanded the GI Bill. Another win for the working class.
Bush's Medicare drug benefit certainly helped the working class in retirement. It's even included in many zero premium and Part B rebate plans now.
Middle class entrepreneurs (think landscapers and maids) benefitted greatly by having capital gains taxes reduced.
Allowing for immediate expense of technology and vehicle purchases (instead of amortization) was huge for the working and middle class (and good for the people that worked for companies making vehicles and technology).
Let's also not forget the average net worth of people that retired between 2001 and 2008.
Why do you care? You've never let facts influence your view before. Have you had a "Come to Jesus moment" and now accept that reality does intersect with your life?
