If you are a republican you believe that income inequality is NOT a problem. If you are a republican you believe that voter suppression is NO big deal. I only mention two agendas of the republican party here but they are ominous. As the republicans continue to try to lower taxes on the wealthy and reduce social programs aimed at curbing income inequality there can be no doubt as to my claim on income inequality. Everywhere you look you see republicans calling out to their base that lowering taxes on the wealthy will lead to increased jobs and production. Well their base believes them despite all evidence to the contrary.
What has happened in the past is that when these wealthy get their huge tax breaks they put the extra money into banks or other creative enterprises that do not help to create new jobs. The only way to make the wealthy create more jobs is to tax them at a higher rate so that their profit margin shrinks which forces them to create new opportunities to make the money they were used to making. They want more wealth and to make them chase it you have to tax them at a higher rate not a lower one. But republicans don't want you to know that since the wealthy are the majority of their donors and like good little soldiers republicans follow the orders of their donors to the point beyond lying to their constituents.
As well is the voter suppression tactics. They attack minorities as others and then blatantly say that many undocumented are voting illegally. This makes it easy for them to illogically justify the strict identification laws they roll out and the closing of voting stations where the majority of the "others" vote. They atack education and then make it difficult for these smarty pants young adults to vote at their schools. All the tactics the republicans employ are thought out through their right wing think tanks for the purpose of keeping as many democrats from voting as possible. Have you noticed that it is a rare occurrence to see a democrat make it hard for republicans to vote? Because despite our differences in policy we democrats believe in democracy and knowing that republicans are subversive in voting calculations we still believe that Americans stand above party when it comes to our national heritage. We may be foolish but we will not stoop to the republican strategy of undermining the wealth of our nation nor the constitutional right of our citizens to vote.
