I can't beleive people are still on the fence!! It's like choosing between a bowl of cereal and a bowl of poo!!
Did you know that, since WWII, our economy yielded overwhelimingly higher economic performance (GDP minus National Debt) with a democratic president than a republican president.
Ok. One or two...an anomaly. But every single one? Don't take my word for it! See the charts from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
How could this be!?!?!
Why do American's vote against their interest?
Because we are more concerned about the other guy getting a free ride than the mass benefit of national/social programs. Why are we so fixated on denying the vast majority because of a relative few who seek to abuse these programs.
The fact is, we will be taxed. Our taxes will be spent. Our choices, through who we elect, are how those taxes will be spent. Will they go to a very select group of corporations (defense, oil, military-industrial corporations) or will they be more evenly distributed throughout our economy?
The fact is, when taxes are spent on social programs or on national programs (Hoover Dam, National Highway System, Revamping our electrical infrastracure) the WHOLE U.S. benefits!! Rich and poor. Black and white...you get the idea.
So let's get off this Social Darwinistic, self defeating, selfish way! Because when we help everybody...that includes you too!
