Clinton improved the economy then Bush ruined it again, Obama's trying and slowly succeeding but he needs another mandate. Why is it that Republicans always have great ideas but when they're in power they do nothing but giving tax breaks for riches?
The tax breaks affect
everyone, not just the rich. For example, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and its 2003 version extended tax cuts to
all people, not just the rich.
There have been many good Republican Presidents; Reagan, Bush Senior, Eisenhower, Nixon. There have been many occasions where a Republican has to clear the mess of Democratic flops, LBJ and Carter spring to mind instantly. You're generalizing again.
Look where it brought the country, on the verge of a economic collapse. What have the riches done with their tax breaks? Did they create new jobs? No, they just got richer and this unpatriotic weasel Romney fired more workers and got richer.
This is a gross manipulation of economic history; America's decline began since the 70s, when she found it hard to compete with the rest of the world; when her education systems fell into decline, when her businesses became uncompetitive. Nixon by taking the dollar off the gold standard, did America a huge favour. The collapse in 2008 was not the government's fault, it does have a burden of not regulating properly, but it didn't cause the collapse.
No, they just got richer and this unpatriotic weasel Romney fired more workers and got richer.
The Wall Street Journal, aiming for a comprehensive assessment, examined 77 businesses Bain invested in while Mr. Romney led the firm from its 1984 start until early 1999, to see how they fared during Bainâs involvement and shortly afterward.
Among the findings: 22% either filed for bankruptcy reorganization or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain first invested, sometimes with substantial job losses. An additional 8% ran into so much trouble that all of the money Bain invested was lost.
Whilst it is true that Romney did a shoddy job at Bain, that is all it proved. It doesn't prove he has the lack of heart, anyone who attempts to be elected does have heart. It doesn't prove one bit that Republicans are all a selfish cheating bunch led by the worst of the lot Romney. It proves his economics are crap, but it doesn't prove that he is ''unpatriotic''. Honestly, people who bandy the word around to anything they detest are missing the point of its meaning.
Where do you see that Republicans are trying?
The only one who can convince some of them is Obama so...
Some have tried to toe the budget line and moderate their views during the previous debt ceiling crisis. You're putting it up as though Democrats and Obama are saintlike, whilst the Republicans are all rubbish. Yet isn't this the sort of attitude you condemn when coming from conservatives?
