The experts at hiding the ball are at it again. This election cycle conservative Republicans are touting their opposition to several social issues that rankle and ire the electorate when they phrase them as an assault on American values. But while they are keeping our attention on the things that stir up animus, they are quietly trying to change how money is dispersed into our economy. That is there primary goal, to protect and enhance the riches and power of the wealthy while taking more and more from the working/middle/poor class. It is always about the money with Republicans, they live and die on their swords trying to prevent "others" from having what they have already gotten. I understand it. It is fear of losing what advantages bring them. I know fear, it is real and Republicans have it up to their ears. But what they need is for regular folks who have supported them in the past to continue to support them so they can achieve their goal of creating the greatest income inequality in the history of our planet. How they do it is by ignoring economics except to vilify everyone without as a "taker" and champion themselves as examples of ones who pulled themselves up by their own boot straps with no help form anyone. Although that sort of works for them, they need more confusion around other areas of life. So they attack minorities, gays, seniors, women and students as not being worthy of anything that would ease their lives. Republicans work hard to turn us against each other so that the real issues facing America get lost in the ongoing chaos. The name Republican has a history of accomplishments for our citizens but only when Republicans were Liberals or Progressives. Today's Republican party is conservative and I cannot remember one example of anything conservatives have done to move our country forward.
