In what way does the Republican Party stand for the "average" American?
I ask that facetiously. But how does giving away our Treasury to the rich in the form of a taxcut help the poor or middle-class? There are those those that say the Republican Party represents the middle-class. How? If we all get a $300-600 taxcut but our nation goes in debt by trillions of dollars, how could anyone not see the future deterioration of their lifestyle if they are in the lower or middle working classes? In fact, the deterioration of all hope for a better future.

If the Republican Party were honest with the people, they would have a difficult time mustering 10% of the total vote. But, here we are two days from election, and the race is too close to call according to many "experts". If I could see only one way that they help the working people of this country or intend to help the middle-class, I could have more sympathy for the supporters of the Republican Party. From my perspective, I see nothing that helps our nation in the Republican philosophy. I challenge any Republican in this country to explain how they help the middle-class or this nation. They are a force for evil in the world...on a par with the former "evil empire".
