23. Continued:
Take the tax issue for an example. Republicans have convinced many lower wage workers into believing that cutting taxes on the wealthiest, will stimulate the economy and create jobs. Ignoring the fact that Trickle Down Economics doesn’t work. When manufacturing jobs move out of the country, they want you to believe its because of high taxes and labor unions demanding to much. Now we are finding out, it was never because of high taxes, hell they don't pay any. Its all about the bottom line, corporate greed and exploiting the United States like it was a cash cow, to be milked, harvested and to funnel our 401K investment funds internationally.

Republicans use scare tactics, to scare the working class into voting for them. If they didn't use the scare tactics, there is no chance they could win. They use racism to push their agenda. They want you to believe that all unmarried black woman with children are welfare queens. Homeless people are all lazy leeches. To fool the people, they’ll also have you believe that every other country has an evil dictator out to get us. After all we always have to have that Boogie Man to fool the taxpayer into believing that we need to waste billions of tax dollars building up the military to protect us. In reality, all they’re doing is keeping the military pork corporations that contribute to republican party happy. They’ll also have you believe that they’re a friend to the enlisted man. Then they turn around and treat people in uniform as dumb stupid animals to be used for corporate foreign policy..

A man that works for a paycheck and votes republican, is equivalent as a deer joining the National Rifle Association.
