Inconvenient truth: most Republicans have little to offer the poor except regressive taxes, and as a poor person I am highly averse to regressive taxes.
inconvenient truth: The countries that have what the poor (like you) want tax REGRESSIVELY.
And Scandinavian countries also apply their top marginal income tax rate to the middle class, while the U.S. top marginal tax rate only applies to the top 1%:
In that case the claim "70% of felons are registered as Democrats" is BS. Also, the 'study' was done in three States none of which were Republican States.
North Carolina is more or less a Republican state with full Republican control at the state level. It has a flat income tax which kicks in at $7,500 and thus soaks the poor and working class. Why would felons vote to be soaked with taxes?

If you look at the NC prison population, you will see they are mostly black, and blacks vote Dem. How would the percentage look like in Montana? It looks like in Florida, it is pretty much a split.
As do all members of CAIR and Illegal Alien supporters and Radical Leftist as do Radical Muslims.
Quickly, let me make this about as many other groups as possible!
Do you know how irrelevant any of this information is? Completely.
Do you know why radical Muslims might support Democrats. It's because Democrats are more willing to support non-radical Muslims. But let me be perfectly clear, Radical Muslims are not Democrats. I know you're smart enough to see that. Radical Muslims would disagree with Democrats on quite a lot. For example, the Republican view on homosexuality isn't extreme enough for them.
Don't point to irrelevant detail and expect them to mean something.

Have you ever noticed surveys which claim that voters who pick a Libertarian candidate (actual or generic) typically break about 2-1 for the Republican if they have to choose between a D and R? Ever wonder why any libertarian-leaning voter would pick a democrat? maybe i'm projecting but i think it might have to do with taxes.
I think republicans do have something to offer you
More affordable housing by removing minimum restrictions on housing. Why does some clown sitting in an overstuffed chair dictate that a one bedroom must be a minimum of 700sqft. Let the market decide what people will buy
A better selection of starter jobs because companies can better afford to open up to them. To bring a new employee on today costs an enormous amount of money.
Lower corporate taxes and other restrictions allowing manufacturing and other low skill jobs to remain here and still remain profitable
Fair taxes where everybody has skin in the game driving sensible spending decisions, stop spending money on things we do not need. Reduce the government back to persevering our rights, freedoms, and safety.
So let's say some guy is young, wild, and crazy and gets into selling drugs. He gets caught, serves his time, and gets his head screwed on straight. Once he's done, who is looking out for him?
