I am writing this to see how many people there are out there who actually agree with republican policies. I cannot believe anyone who makes less than $200,000.00 a year could possibly be republican! The only reason I can possibly see would be due to the party's southern strategies implimented years ago. It seems more race motivated than anything whether a person truly realizes it or not. Any policy that has ever been put in place to help us who make less than that were initiated by the democratic party. The republican party wants our money but they do not want us. Unfortunately for them we are the ones who made the rich, rich in the first place. People in our lower income bracket pay all the interest and have our incomes tied up so that we are trapped and they reap the profits.
The republicans are against welfare, food vouchers, Social Security, Medicare, etc. But one major republican corporation who pays sub-standard wages and works many part time employees encourages their employees to take part in all of the social programs available. The very programs they despise! So what happens is they expand all these programs with their position on wages, employee benefits, and work week policies. That's how great this party really is, and people in the south are this party's biggest supporters. Unreal!
They say that our president is going to turn this country into a socialist regime. That is crazy. Even if it were true think about this. If you are a christian what do you think christianity is? Or any other religion for that matter. So you think Jesus's teachings are not a bit socialistic? I mean come on does it not seem a bit more like right to have compassion for your fellow man?
This is the general attitude of the conservative republican party and the tea party as well, summed up by our republican house majority leader who says no help for tornado victims unless we can cut spending elsewhere.

These are all opinions and lord knows I am a bleeding heart liberal. But I truly believe when it is all said and done, all these tight fisted republicans will gain is what they have gained on this earth, and they will leave the world just as bare as all of us bleeding heart liberals. So let them have their time because this life is very short and eternity well, it's a long, long time.
