Most Republicans are Republicans simply because they are selfish assholes that want to pay less taxes. They don't give two shits about abortion, Unions, Healthcare, Trickle Down Economics, Limited Govt, Liberating Foreigners from oppressive Dictators, Immigration, Strong Defense, Border Security, Debt Ceiling, Personal Liberty, et all but pretend they do for the sake of looking like they have more than, "I don't want to pay more taxes," for justifying their vote.
Lets take money from the most efficient form of allocation known to man (free market) and give it the the most inefficient form of allocation in the world. Government.
Most democrats are chartered dumb asses when it comes to money. They have essentially no understanding of it at all, like nearly as dumb as children and teenagers. Alot of them think rich people have millions in cash.
Democrats are generally way smarter than Republicans about, like, everything. (Is that controversial if studies back it up?) Republican voters -- other than the very rich -- constantly vote against their own interests without even realizing it.
P.S. Nobody will take you seriously if you think the U.S. has free market policies.
Same goes the other way. The rest of us do it willingly, of course. I'd like to hear one presidential candidate from my lifetime whose policies you supported 100%.
Disagree. Most rich Democrats realize they're voting against their pocketbooks, but think better funded social safety nets and public services offset that. Poor Democrats are voting in their own best intersts. Rich Republicans look at the bottom line and make their decision based on taxes, and I can somewhat respect their logic, even though it's shallow because they fail to consider how an improved and stable society benefits them. Poor Republicans are just shooting themselves in the head (idiots).
Yeah, because section 8 housing complexes and HUD blocks are known for their stability and high quality public services.
Socialism and the attempted universal application of social welfare is eating the western world alive. Look at traditional european powers that have become economically inept on their drive to becoming welfare states (france, italy, spain, u.k. GREECE). They are becoming so useless we are paying out of our own pockets to defend THEM. What Russia is getting away with in Ukraine is the result of a power vacuum in europe.
