Can real Democrats support taxcuts over social programs?

[kentuck]

We have always had the 1%. They just have more of the nation's wealth at this time than they normally do.

They have a political Party that refuses to raise taxes for anything. They want to cut social programs that help the people so that the wealthy 1% can keep more and more of their wealth.

Can true Democrats vote taxcuts for the wealthy while, at the same time, they cut benefits for the poor and middle class? Would you call them Democrats or Republicans?

The working and middle class have fought for centuries to get more rewards from the capitalist system. There have been violent battles between the companies and unions. People have died in labor camps and locked manufacturing doors, in order to make just a little progress for the people. Now, we have politicians that are willy-nilly ready to surrender those hard-fought gains.

We also have middle-class voters that call themselves Democrats but they will fight like hell to keep George W Bush's taxcuts for themselves. They know we need the revenues if we are going to keep the programs alive that people have fought and died for but they insist on keeping that Republican tax cut. Are they Democrats or Republicans? Are the Democrats now the tax-cutting Party ready to throw everything overboard, including Social Security and Medicare?
