Hey!
Don't get me wrong. I may be disappointed with some aspects of the Republicans, but I'm not about to confuse disapppointment and surrender.
As Tom Sowell says, "Republicans may be disappointing, but Democrats are downright dangerous."
I work tirelessly to elect Republicans to every level of office in every election cycle. In this last election, Republican failure to enact its own program in a Congress where they controlled both houses and the Presidency hurt. I know it did because I talk to the same voters year after year.
By the way, if a tax on consumption is labeled "regressive", than that's exactly the kind of regressive tax I am in favor of. And labelling a tax as "regressive" only scares off Democrats who think a "proigressive" tax is "good" and that a "regressive" tax must then be "bad". Republicans ought to know better.
But now, we have Nancy Pelosi & Co. God help us all. We sure won't get any "regressive" taxes with that crown in control.
By the way, the last round of Republican "tax cuts" increased my taxes by about $6,000 per year. Pretty good reward for years of support, eh? The last time this happened at least I had a Democrat to blame, the late demogogue, William J. Proxmire. This time it was Charles Grassley that decided to stick it to an entire class of Republican supporters.
How so? The income tax brackets were lowered. How did yours go up???
Don't you ever feel like a frog in a pot of increasingly hot water? We take the Republicans only because the Demoncraps are worse not realizing that the difference between the two is becoming so convoluted that it's only a matter of time before we are boiled to death?
If the second coming is to be delayed for any period of time I am hoping that some real, principled, honest leaders will emerge but I fear that all that is before us is an increasing decline and ultimate end to life as we now know it.
Think about this. JFK was considered a liberal in his day and yet he was far more conservative than any "conservatives" we have today.
Sad isn't it?! The progressives take two steps forward and one back… two steps forward and one back… two…
They are taking us where they want to go and no one has the intestinal fortitude to stop them.
