Does the Republican party really represent small business and the simple honest hard worker?

Question

Please give the most honest answer you can.

This is the thing in the Republican
platform I always take the most seriously.

I'm very interested how much is well earned political reputation from brilliant spin and how much is well thought through by the voters.

Answer 1

The more physical a person's job, the less they make. So much for working hard and you will get ahead in life. As a small business owner, I can tell you this isn't true. If it were more tax cuts would have come my way instead of Exxon-Mobil. I find this to be one of the more insulting things the republicans try to make Americans believe.

Answer 2

The Republican party represent small business, they also represent big business, they also represent very rich people.
The issue is, how much do they represent each one of these groups.
1- When the interests of big business are in conflict with the interests of small business, the Republicans side with big business.
2- When the interests of rich people are in conflict with the interests of small business, the Republicans side with rich people.
3- When the interests of big business are in conflict with the interests of rich people, the Republicans side with big business. Number 3 does not happen very often, because very rich people and big business are generally the same group.
Lastly, the Republican almost always, will side in favor of the rich and powerful and against the middle class and the poor, no matter how hard working and honest these last 2 groups happens to be.

Answer 3

a million. lots of the corporate welfare needs to be eliminated. the single exception might want to be in farming or perhaps then it may bypass to the small kinfolk farm and not in any respect the tremendous company farms. 2. The immigration situation has many roots. the first is that the immigration procedure is too lengthy, cumbersome and severe priced. human beings might want to no longer ought to attend years or many years to immigrate the following. fix the immigration procedure and then close down the borders. enable every person at present contained in the U. S. to get a eco-friendly card (certain amnesty) except those with a legal record. Felons might want to be on the instantaneous deported. Then crack down on agencies that employ illegals. Fines might want to be major to the point that dissimilar repeat offenders are fines out of company. 3. in the present day's technologies helps a fighter jet to be everywhere contained in the global in some hours. that's continuously the first wave of any armed forces action. we do not desire troops all over the realm. Any time the UN demands troops, US forces might want to make up no more beneficial than 50% of the completed forces. 4. upload that spending must be managed with a purpose of eliminating the completed debt in a sensible era of time. Balanced budgets recommend no longer something if there are provisions to overspend for "emergencies". placed that spending contained in the funds or do not spend it.

Answer 4

Roosters, can tell ou one thing for sure and that is coming from a small business owner. One that has built several small businesses.

Has NEVER been a democrat controlled congress that is for the small business. Today we have over 20 million small bussiness in the U S. If you've ever started or ran a business. you would know the answer to your question. Just hope you're not one that thinks that business or the owner thereof owes you everything.

Pure and simple. If you're involved in a small business...Dems are not out to protect your butt....only...to take what you make....I know.....have had and started businesses since mid 70's.......lcan see the thumbs down now.....

Answer 5

well... the REAL trick is... you're asking about two philosophies that are fighting against each other...

small business and simple honest hard worker...

the hard worker often works for small business... so his needs often place hardships on small business...

and if you ease all of the protections on the worker... it would save small businesses billions annually... but place many hardships and dangers on the worker

so, it's a give and take... Republicans seem to be more in the corner of small business, while Dems seem to be more in the corner of the worker...

Reps fight to repeal things like minimum wage, safety issues, work regulations (from safety to laws governing the work week)... and more... these things would help small business but hurt the average worker

Dems fight to keep and add those things to protect workers, but cost businesses money... and support things like unions...

really, it's an equilibrium... you need both small businesses and workers... one can not work without the other... and each has their champion... and each probably keeps the other in check to a degree...

that's how I see it...

Answer 6

Theoretically, the answer is "yes". However, there appears to be some confusion within the party's structure - undoubtedly caused by RINOs. Ergo, some "Republican" legislators are growing increasingly uneasy with adhering to core conservative principles. We need another Goldwater, another Haley Barbour, another Ronald Reagan or another Lee Atwater to lead this party forward and keep on message.

Answer 7

The Republican party represents the richer and large corporation, because they believe in an equal 30% tax. This is bad for someone who is lower middle class, almost at poverty level, because it takes so much out of they're already small budget.

The Democratic party supprots smaller business and Middle Class, because they believe that them paying the same precent in taxes as the rich takes away from them taking care of their families.

I'm a Liberal Democrat, and I support a tax system that's Middle-class/poverty and small business friendly. Things in this country are getting so expensive. When we could give them a little break, we should.

Answer 8

I always believed that the Republican party represents the ideals and values of middle America far better than its liberal counterparts. In the Conservative party people get rich and then run for public office, in the Democratic they seem to get rich after they get into office.

Answer 9

Not necessarily. Most Republicans are only conservative christians. The original Pilgrims who make America great and stable.

Answer 10

No. The Republican party only cares about staying in power.

You have to judge an individual politician based on their character and their voting record.
