I do not believe the republican policies are that drastically different to tell you the truth.
quote:Indeed. But it's inevitable. As a direct result of the Reagan and Bush tax cuts... The "middle class" pays no income tax at all. Tough to sell tax cuts to someone that pays no taxes. In essence, they've destroyed their own market. Unfortunately in this case doing the right thing != political success.
Reagan attempted to communicate with the every man, where as you have romney saying shite about the 47%.
quote:To be fair... Their opposition has a little help in distorting their position via the propaganda machine.
Its a fixable problem but some on the right don't even notice they have a problem communicating with the middle.

reality is lower income people vote a lot less than higher incomes, so its really is the middle, and they definitely pay taxes, granted much of it is in payroll taxes but that is still a hefty chunk.

its a poor salesman that uses his competition as an excuse for his inability to sell his product.
