In reply to the discussion: OK. I'VE HAD ENOUGH! No more Republicans in my life. If you're greedy enough, dumb enough, selfish [View all]demwing
(16,916 posts)82. You KNOW it's not that simple
if it were just about a 3.6% change in tax rates, who would care? Fiscal policy? Meh....
But there's also the racism, the gender discrimination, the hate of sexual preference, and countless other civil liberties that are just obstacles to Republican desire for domination.
There's the blood lust for war, but the insistence that war be fought by other people children, not theirs.
There also the push to establish religious law in America, and if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, perhaps nothing will.
Come on...You've been around DU long enough to have read the MANY posts detailing frighteningly corrupt and hateful behavior of Republicans, why are you playing that this is about a 3% tax cut?
What's your agenda?
