The difference between republicans and democrats is that democrats at least care about your sorry broke asses every once in awhile.

Actually, all the Democrats care about is using other people’s money to fund their pet causes. If they really cared about poor people, they would use their own money to fund these causes. The statistical truth is that Republicans donate more money to charity while paying the same amount in taxes that Democrats do. The richest people in the nation are Democrats. And yet they seem to donate less money to charity. Why is that? Why do we get rich celebraties “donating” their time to get other people to pony up cash instead of setting an example by ponying up themselves. This is the whole Democratic mentality – getting other people to pay for their personal obsessions.

Steve R: The Reagan revolution gave us nothing but corporate profiteering, and you silly fools gleefully pushed the “ronnie” lever knowing he was gonna screw you with a dry corncob.
Fast forward to 2007 and you still want to be dry humped by corporate entities. Sad.

In a free market system, corporations can’t profiteer – if they try, they get slaughtered by the competition. During the Reagan era, the domestic consumer electronics industries – stereos, tv’s and radios, were killed by foreign competition. Car, steel and machine tools – all took major pressure from foreign companies with leaner cost structures and more efficient work practices. When the Democrats were in power, individual workers with union jobs got to profiteer at the nation’s expense. If you were born with a union card (thanks to Dad), you had a job – otherwise, you got unemployment – not on the backs of Democratic politicians, but on the backs of the nation’s taxpayers. Under Democratic rule, corporations got to profiteer because the domestic market was closed off to foreign competition and barriers were put to new market entrants via onerous regulations.
