You know that party has fought tooth and nail against every social program proposed: Social Security, the WPA that ended the depression, Medicare, a rise in the minimum wage, gay marriage, and on and on. Where on earth would the aging population be without Social Security or Medicare?? One-third of this country was unemployed in the depression, yet the Republican party fought Roosevelt over the WPA (putting unemployed people in make-work jobs).
I read once that the Republicans have done a magical thing: They have convinced working class people to vote against themselves. Apparently they have also convinced gay people and people of color that they really do hold the same values, they are just hidden somewhere. Perhaps they will spring out one day.
Do a little reading, please. Study a little history. Turn off the television. Research into which party shares your values. If you think of yourself as a present or future millionaire, perhaps the Republican party is for you.
