REPUBLICAN LOOKS IN MIRROR

What are the facts? Is there an ever-increasing income disparity or not? We can hear and read that it is happening. We see in at work every day. I know of no one who doesn’t accept this is a fact. This begs the question, “Why?” We all know that Ronald Reagan, the icon of Republicanism, worked very hard to move “the money” to the top with the promise that it would trickle down. We even coined a name for this; people call this Reaganomic. In addition, we understand that this form of economics means when the money is finally all at the top, the people with the money will create “good” jobs; that is the promise. Reagan told the truth; he would start the ball rolling by cutting taxes on the job creators. We all know the government cut taxes on corporations but also we know that to get the money they need to operate, the government raised taxes on workers because they are not the ones who create jobs—who has ever seen a poor person that has created a job. We know that after we had massive job losses, there is increasing number of jobs just as Reaganomics promises; of course, the jobs are all very, very low paying, which increases income to share holders. In addition, we have destroyed unions so workers’ wages are flat and will remain so for a long time. Technology has increased productivity per worker so profits can go up even more as long as we can hold wages down. This has been the case for over 20 over years with no evidence that it will change. Because of ever-increasing income disparity there are a few very rich people, a shrinking middle class, and more poor people; thus, we as a society have an increasing need for welfare—this is the 47% that suck off the tax payers don’t count.

The system of free enterprise we support has developed over time; it requires people work at a very low wage because there isn’t enough money left after the corporations take out their “required” profits. In the business world, ‘profits’ refers to happy corporate share holders. However, in the real world, this even includes our military families because there isn’t enough taxes collected from the working people to pay them descent wage even to defend our country; that is sad. The result across the board is that weekly family income is so low they qualify for welfare supplied by bleeding heart lefty liberals, which means they will not starve: food stamps, schools lunch programs, etc—yes, many military families live on food stamps. We understand that the correct logic is that the thing to do is for the government to attack welfare programs legislatively as costing us too much money, which causes taxes to be more that we can pay with our low income—we would not need taxes if we had no welfare. If we had no taxes, we could keep our hard-earned money, which is what keeps elected.

Republicans, in mass and correctly so, blame the poor people for being poor. Everyone knows there are “masses” of people setting on their porches, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and taking drugs, all of which they pay for with food stamp money: this is cheating, which means they can work but are lying to collect a government check—free money. As best selling author Anne Coulter asks, why don’t they get up off their grills in the streets they sleep on, work hard, and go to Harvard like she did. Ayn Rand disciples reject all of these people as not counting; they are not productive so they just don’t count; the job creators don’t intentionally want to hurt them rather they are hurting themselves. They may have low IQs; are crippled, or are all not on drugs, but that is no excuse; it is not our fault, it is their fault. Our astute Republican governors have proved this by spending countless of thousand of tax dollars drug testing thousands and thousand of welfare recipient for drugs and have found little to no drug use: this proves the problem is that they have no excuse they are just lazy. In addition, or governors have stopped voter fraud by requiring voter ID. Survey after survey has proved that they were successful even before they started; there is no voter fraud; they did it because more Democratic that Republican voters might commit fraud. In addition, by doing this they have proved that, just as suspected, poor people are irresponsible because they do not have ID.

The guy you see in the mirror looking back is the good guy.
