I could never understand the polls that say that Americans trust democrats more on taxes and the economy. Democrats want to raise taxes, which always hurts the economy. I always wondered whether people are really that clueless or if the polls are cooked.
The “American’s who trust democrats” are the ones they poll who do not pay taxes....
You have to know that most Dems I know are totally, stone-cold ignorant about economic matters. The Dems promise to give them more "freebies" among other things. These people are also jealous and vindictive. They want to see the rich, whom they identify as mostly Republicans, get taxed severely. A lot are like my near ninety-year old pappy who thinks Roosevelt brought us out of The Great Depression with his screwball policies. They have been convinced that high taxes means a good economy. Despite the fact that every Dem, like Mondale, who runs on a tax-increase program loses heavily.
