Reply #1: R's have the notion that "pulling one up by one's bootsraps"... [View All]

as the answer for everything.

But since the Reagan years, right through bushII, they not only took the boots from the Middle and Lower Classes, they took the socks, pants and shirts as well...leaving nothing but a shoddy barrel, and they are intent on taking that as well.

The entire RW ideology is based on people "making it", but at every turn, they have taken away the few tools that were available for an individual, or class of people to help them "make it". What has happened, is the exceptionally wealthy have gained even more power, along w/big business, and the people have suffered immeasurably, but die hard R's still believe they have a "chance"...it's not going to happen, it was never in the plan of the GOP to ensure others get a chance. It is all an illusion.
