Do Repubs really buy into the fantasy about democrats?
I see so many people on YA saying things like "Democrats don't work" and "All Democrats are moochers." Mitt Romney paints nearly half the country (47%) as people who are just waiting for a handout so they vote Democrat. My question is, do you idiots really buy into this lie or are you just spouting the party line? I am a Democrat and make six figures, and have employed hundreds of people in various businesses I've owned. Many other successful business people feel the same way - we want social and economic justice, not a country that tries to keep the ultra-rich in power at the expense of the middle class.

Everything about myself in my question is fact, I'm not a troll...and there is absolutely no evidence that higher tax rates lead employers to cut jobs, that is simply not true. Apologies to any repubs that see Dems as a diverse group some who are moochers and many who are not, you are not idiots. Sorry to say, the rest of you are.

No more so than Dems buy into the fantasy about Republicans, i.e. Republicans are racists. Republicans are sexists. Republicans are ageists. Republicans want to take away your SS. Republicans want to take away your Medicare. Republicans want to take away education. Republicans want to starve children. Republicans want to destroy the environment. Republicans want to destroy the middle class. Republicans want the poor to remain poor. Republicans only care about the rich.....blah, blah, blah.
It is a proven fact that when taxes are raised on business owners both small and large that they cut jobs. Let me ask you this, if someone said "you are going to pay $100,000 more in taxes this year than you did last year" What changes would to make to your business? Would you cut your own pay in order to pay those taxes? Or would you find somewhere else to make cuts? This is the question business owners have to answer and most times they cut jobs. That is why the unemployment rate is up right now. I am not delusional enough to think that ALL democrats are poor and live on government assistance. However I do think that most democrats pay too much attention to social issues and don't look at the big picture. I am an independent, and I agree with democrats on most social issues, but social issues don't put food on the table or a roof over my head. You know what does? A job! And an increasing unemployment rate isn't going to help anyone. All Obama knows how to do is spend, spend, spend. He acts like there is no limit as to how much we can spend! I guess to him there isn't because we can just sell ourselves off and borrow the money from other countries. We can't afford Obamacare, we can't afford to invest in anymore money pits. We need to invest in our own country and focus on what will get us out of this mess and Obama fails to see that.
Republicans and conservatives seem to actually believe the propaganda that they are constantly fed. That propaganda includes extremely derogatory references to Democrats. Some of it is just slightly veiled racism.
For instance, liberals are the most highly educated identifiable political segment of the population and have high incomes in general but I see cons on this site referring to liberals as waiting for handouts or as moochers. These cons can't even correctly understand the simple-minded propaganda with which they are being manipulated. It is really rather sad.
One of the main components of the current conservative movement is to constantly attack the political opposition, no matter how ridiculous the grounds. Ad hominem attacks are one of their major weapons. Then cons get so upset when liberals and Democrats strike back.
Fox News and Talk Radio sell them this garbage and they buy it. When someone like Romney repeats this idiotic nonsense you realize that the attack propaganda has become acceptable to mainstream conservatives. That is a matter of concern.
Thats you but its pretty true for a majority to me its pretty blunt but I believe that also how can you believe that they just wanna keep the ultra rich in power thats pretty far fetched
Libbies are constantly hating on people that have more than they do and claim that those people didnt build that and dont pay their fair share while 50% pay nothing in federal income tax. You have only yourselves to blame for the impression that you leave with your hateful rhetoric.
Sorry, but someone who makes six figures owns numerous bsinesses and employs hundreds of people doesnt have time to sit and troll on yahoo answers
