Where else would you have a farm hand making minimum wage being asked by his party to argue that shielding the upper crust from tax cuts is a good thing, while taking more from his own pay check in payroll and social security taxes is so inconsequential and without comment that it comes as a complete surprise.

Where else would the party cave on the debt ceiling and spending cuts to reduce the debt, knowing full well that the Social Security Trust Fund is the biggest purchaser of U.S. debt and that the Treasury buying its own debt is highly inflationary, both disproportionately affecting older Americans, a large Republican constituency.

They don’t call it the stupid party for nothing. However, its mascot should be the sheep, not the elephant considering how much middle class party members are being fleeced by the country club Repub. RINOs.

I’d rather have the bear as the party mascot.

You are correct.
Defending the top 2%, of which the majority are dems anyway, while increasing taxes on those below isn't a good way to win elections.
