There is no such thing. Democrats also think business and corporations don't create jobs. If anyone here is working for a business you may as well go home.

Most Democrats are just as corporatist as any Republican. One can be pro-business without equating taxes to theft. Pro business also means creating a quality of life and an educated workforce that business needs to thrive.

And corporations "create jobs" because...?


In all seriousness, I wish the northern Republicans were an actual thing outside of a few states. And that the Country Club types of ald still had control in the party. The fact is there is absolutely no incentive for evangelical voters in poor states (The South) to vote Republican without the religious social issues and racial politics. Evangelicals as a group are not particularly fiscally conservative on an issue by issue basis and poor voters aren't going to vote for a party that advocates cutting their welfare.
