The republican party made us poor and now they want to do away with us (#3231)

     Keeping wages low and destroying unions are just two examples of how republicans like to keep us the American working class poor. If republicans were able they would strip our nation of minimum wage laws in the guise of the free market altar they so brazenly misinterpret. It is one thing to give the owners of production all the benefits but it is quite another to deny those same rights to the workers who actually do the producing. The free market also benefits the workers equally when not being denied by the rapacious republican party. Without the backing of government nor unions that right to bargain in fair negotiations has been destroyed to favor the owners of production. Not so much a free market principle here when measured as equal and just.
     By keeping us poor the republican party has assured itself that the wealthy will get wealthier while the poor get poorer. However, the other side of the coin is that if we the majority are poor; who will buy the commerce that the wealthy are trying to sell? Will their products be as alluring to the other nations of the world? Another pitfall is that while we still have the right to vote, at least for now most of us do, will we realize that voting for republicans is not a good long term strategy for our own benefit? Will the social issues that republicans have successfully divided us with remain our first priority when deciding to vote of will our wallets and purses finally rise to the top of our priority list? It is evident that a chaotic period is surrounding us and how we come out of it will determine the success or failure of the republicans strategy to keep us poor.
     Not only does the republican party want to keep us poor they want to limit government as how it can help us through our poverty. The republican party does not see government as one to help it's citizens unless those citizens are rich. The wealthy get all the subsidies and benefits while the poor get nothing. That is the republican agenda and it is playing out right before our eyes so no amount of denying it will work even in the era of the "fake news" propaganda being deployed by republicans. With the republican success of destroying the middle class well under way it is only a short time now before the vast majority of we American citizens will become the poor and our poverty will destroy the futures of our children much like the republican party has planned.
