| Isn't Being For the Rich a Good Thing? Written by: Trent 8-17-05 |
We always hear that the Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats are for the poor...right? On the surface this
seems like a straight forward position for both parties. If you are rich you should vote for Republicans...if you are poor
you should vote for Democrats. However, think about these statements for a second. Then think, what do politicians
want most? Your vote. They want as many votes as possible from as many people as possible. Agree so far? Let's
take it that next step then. If Republicans are for the rich, they are going to set policies such that more and more people
become wealthy. Then they will have more people to vote for them. On the flip side, if Democrats are for the poor,
how will they set their policies? You got it. Their policies will be set such that there are more poor people. Then they
will have more people to vote for them. Which do you prefer? Think about it.
If you are a liberal reading this, you'll probably disagree. I ask this question of you, "What has the Democratic agenda
done for the poor?" Nothing. It has made them more dependent on the government and less empowered to become
wealthy on their own. Admit to it or not, that is exactly what they have done....in my opinion on purpose. That way,
there are people dependent on the government instead of taking responsibility for their own financial circumstances.
There are more poor people and the simple stereotype says that they will vote for the Democrats.
Take the Republican's agenda. Lower the taxes for everyone. And don't tell me that the poorest of the poor suffer
because they don't get a tax cut. THEY'RE NOT PAYING ANY TAXES TO BEGIN WITH!!! Sorry...I just really
hate that argument. They believe, at least the conservative ones do, that the government should not be taking as much
money in the form of taxes from the people of this country. They believe in setting policy so that it is easier to obtain
wealth. The people of this country know how to spend our money better than the government does. It is OUR money
not Washington's.
Take a quick look again. The Democrats believe the more poor people there are, the better. They don't say that of
course, but actions speak louder than words. The Republicans believe the more wealthy people there are, the better.
They don't really say that either, but their actions speak for themselves. If you're already wealthy, it makes sense to
vote for the Republicans. If you are like me and you want to BECOME wealthy, it makes sense to vote for the
Republicans. I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't make much sense to vote for the Democrats.
