Q&A, Republicans and the poor: Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe: What Do Republicans Believe? - WSJ.com

Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe: What Do Republicans Believe? - WSJ.com

Q (PM):
...It is not their religion that loses [the Republicans] their elections. It is their hatred of the poor and not wanting the poor to succeed...."


Answer:


Don't you think have the parties reversed here?

It's the Democrats who support the Teachers Unions (and vice-versa). They deprive kids of an education (see today's WSJ article on the problem this is causing the country).

Likewise, all the money siphoned off to pay entitlements and keep the prison guards employed (see the article in a recent WSJ or LA Times pointing out that it costs more to keep a single prisoner in jail in California than the average family's take-home pay.

Frankly, it's only the GOP that tries to hold back this tax and spend social entitlement policy mantra of the Democrats. And, as you might know from your own experience, if you don't save and invest, you have nothing to fall back on in emergencies or the funds to create new jobs.

Democratic policies of taxing the public to support public employment or benefits for non-producers, etc. just saps the economy of needed investment capital. Etc., etc.
