Why I Will Vote Republican:


I believe that tax cuts – especially for the most wealthy -- will stimulate the economy and cut the debt and deficit even though they never have before. I believe that giving Federal assistance to multinational corporations and super-wealthy individuals is good for job growth, even though these corporations we help with our tax dollars shut down their American plants and moved all the jobs to Communist countries.


I believe the reason that multinational corporations offshore American jobs is because of unions, and Americans shouldn’t be able to unionize anyway. American workers dared to offend the multinational corporations, and workers are now reaping what they have sewn. Since the Supreme Court decreed that corporations are citizens, people should do whatever the multinational corporations tell us to do.


If a CEO makes FOUR HUNDRED times more than the average worker in the plant makes, THEY EARNED IT. That guy that works on the plant floor toiling away - he’s just a lazy union worker who hates America. If the foreign owned companies these CEO's are in charge of go bankrupt, it’s not their fault – it’s the workers’ fault.


As a Republican, it doesn't bother me that you can have your pay reduced, or can be fired if you are not performing, but they cannot. The CEO earned that immunity from responsibility – you didn't, so shut up.

There's nothing to be proud of there purplelove. That piece sounds like it was written by a college poli-sci freshmen. It's full of inaccuracies and cliches. The joke is on you buddy.

I doubt there is ANY room for someone like me in the Republican party.
A black lesbian atheist who actually gives a crap about working class people? Nah....

I'm not black, not a lesbian and not an atheist, I do give a crap about working class people like myself and the financial burden being laid at their feet due to the money spent via entitlements on the non-working and non-tax paying class people in this country...

I know for a fact that there isn't ANY room for someone like me in the Democratic party.

The reason corporations move overseas is to remain competitive, period. If they don't they go out of business.

This is global economy and US manufactures are at a serious disadvantage for many reasons including higher taxes, higher wages, tighter regulations across the board... the list is endless.

So you'd propose to lower taxes, wages, and lower regulations so we can compete with the likes of companies such as China?

Most companies don't pay the official tax rate. The average is about 12%.

I've never understood why our economy is based on consumer spending when most of the things we're spending our money on are produced abroad.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have our money going towards keeping more Americans employed than increasing our trade deficit?
