I was wondering which party do you think supports the common working person--blue collar, service industry workers?

And which supports the more wealthy CEOs, Executives, and information workers (white collar)?

Neither?

Both?

Or?

At this point, I'm not convinced that either do. However, policies that Republicans more regularly support help the common man. So, I'd say the Republican Party *LEANS* more to the common man.

Always and Will be Democrats. Republicans hide under the corporations saying they are good for the common man… not. The tax laws they introduced always favor the corporations, they do not vote favorably for social programs. Facts.

Easy. The party that makes people into victims and blame their neighbors.

Neither, makes you wonder why so many seem dedicated to tying their entire identity to a political party or politician.

Neither.

But one is all about tyranny and the other is half-way about individual liberty. So, since there are only those two viable choices, I'm stuck with the latter.

Besides, I don't expect the government to do anything FOR me. What I expect from the government is to be left alone and allowed to live my life as I see fit (as long as that is not denying my neighbor the same opportunity). So what that requires of the government is protection from foreign invasion and protection from my fellow citizens who wish to deny me my rights. Unfortunately, I'm getting neither from the government at this point--there is an invasion across the southern border and leftists invading the government (which in turn, denies me my--and everyone's--rights).

...well, the premise of your question is flawed unless you actually believe there are two party's...

...it's two wings of the same bird; and that bird answers to the same masters....

I'm not interested in "feelings."

Give me opportunities for freedom, and for me to make choices that will better my life.

Fact. Social programs = takes $100 of your money, pisses away $50, establish a bureaucracy and wastes $48 of the remainder to pay for it, gives you back $2 "for your own good" and "to provide a social safety net". You have to make up the remaining $98 from somewhere else.

Also Fact. You wouldn't need the social safety net to begin with if they never took the $100 from you in the first place.

Basically Social Programs is a euphemism for a solution looking for a problem, so the Government manufactures an unsolvable problem so it can **** away your money "solving" it in perpetuity.
