you cherry pick a few things and try to spin to absolve the evil democrats/communists of any blame. Obamacare , all democrats voted for that. defend that . 1965 immigration act defend democrats there. and woodrow wilson and his democrat congress passed the income tax in 1913. your democrats controlled congres for 40 years until 1994 and during that time they built this huge government , rooms full of laws. you will say that is Bush's fault . go donate to the democrats/communists. i just had time to post a FEW horors your democrats did. i didn't even get to democrat FDR
