No expert here, but a bigger scam though history is that the Republican party was behind the founding and atrocities by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). That racist murderous sick organization was founded by Democrats in the south who were against "reconstruction" by the Repubs after the Civil War.
And then there is the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Two guesses who mostly voted against it.
I have never understood why the Pubs let the Dimms get away with such nonsense as if their Pubs bills will kill old people, women and children. It's the same story again with Obamacare repeal. Everyone is going to die!...and RINOs step in line to be part of the good ole club, and the idiot voters fall for it. Guess it's too hard to understand that a rising tide lifts all boats. Sheesh!
Let me put into words the low information voters (LIV) can understand: You live in a town where Walmart has put mom&pop out of business and the businesses they used to frequent from their small business profits have to close. Some large company comes in and not only provides new jobs (with benefits), but also new and needed ancillary jobs/businesses like hair salons, car repair, construction/remodeling, boutique stores, eateries, and on and on for those that had to close.
Why don't you people get that the profits from that evil large corporation is lifting everyone up? So what if they make a shit load of money? Are you so enamored with the Karcrapions or just too stupid to see your own benefit?
I've owned 3 small businesses and know trickle down economics work. Wish you could ask my many employees who had no jobs or health care, and were ashamed to be on welfare, how bad it was to have an employer.
The KKK was started in the deep south state of Illinois.
