For GOP, Pitfalls In Ignoring Poor

Why do current Republicans dislike the poor so much, even the working poor and the working middle class?


If the democrat Senate refuses to extend the Obama tax cuts of 2010 the income tax of the lower income folks will increase from 10% to 15 %. that is a 50% increase CTB in case you have trouble with numbers!

My family was solid Republican, and most lower middle class. The myth about Democrats liking poor and middle class citizens, and Republicans favoring the rich and famous goes back to Hoover and the Great Depression.

If there was a difference between Republicans and Democrats like there used to be, the difference would not be the economic class, but allowing the free market and idividual effort rule and keep government out of our lives. The rich and poorness of it is a byproduct. However, today, Romney will only lessen the increase in spending, not reverse it.
