My god we republicans still allow you to eat and go on welfare don't we. why can't you just let us take care of the money, and we will let it trickle down to you, but just enough to keep you needing more.

Ok, even tho I'm a dem and liberal on SOME things, you're not right.
True-- R's tend to favor big business, true there was the concept of trickle down economics. But R's tend to want lower taxes in general. And, the tax cuts did affect pretty much everybody in the economic spectrum. The "rich" did get a better overall dollar figure but they pay more (alot more) so any percentage is going to be generally bigger than say those in the lowest quintile (who pay next to no taxes).
Most people are not just voting on tax issues btw... they also vote based on the wedge issues such as abortion, etc.

A). The 51% are voting for non-economic reasons.

B). The majority understand that the party's economic agenda "for just 1%" is actually in the best interests of everyone.

People don't vote based upon where they are economically. That is as true for the top 1% as it is for the bottom 99%.

Because the one percent of the public, that their party represents has most of the money and control most of the media.. The media controls how the weak minded think.

I have no idea who you're referring to, but evidently this person has something else going for him besides his economic agenda.

They deceive the people and cherry pick economic statistics. They even distort official figures - read Krugman.
