    Why wouldn't they think it works? If trickle-down is supposed to work, why wouldn't pump priming?

    "We'll fix that, it'll be huge" isn't either.

    You are aware she's not under criminal investigation, right? The FBI is investigating the security of the entire email,system, going back to Secretaries of State before Hillary.

    I don't know why they don't think it works. But that's irrelevant, and you're moving the goal posts. You want to know which programs Republicans have designed to help the middle class, but the only acceptable answers, to you, are those that incorporate liberal economic philosophy about what would help the middle class. That's a rigged question. If you want to debate which party is right about that, that's a different debate. But it's not the question you asked.

    Trump needs to keep them in for a while yet. Their votes eventuallygo to Cruz or Rubio.

    Dick makes these judgements exclusively off his Facebook feed.

    It's about philosophy in general. Republicans care about the rich, and will do anything to help them, not that they need it. Anything that also helps the middle class and poor at the same time is just added bonus for them. If they can give a $90K tax cut to the rich, then they don't care if the middle class taxpayer gets a $400 tax cut.

    Democrats, on the other hand, question why you have to give the $90K tax cut to the rich, when you can just give the $400 to the middle class taxpayer. It's the motivation.

    Fine. I really want to hear lefties telling a major part of their base how they have to cut their salary down by two thirds. That's going to be a fun one to watch. It wasn't righties driving tuition through the roof and delivering useless degrees in womyn's studies.

    Have you been to any Republican meeting? I covered plenty, and they weren't "rich" by mostly anyone's definition. They don't care about millionaires. They're raising kids, trying to run a small business, paying a mortgage, and just trying to make a better life for themselves. You're going to see the same type of people in Democratic meetings.

    It's also naive to think Democrats want to help the poor because they are better people.

    The last GOP meeting that I saw a video of the Republican presidential candidate talking about how 47 percent of the country, which includes military family members, the elderly, and the physically and mentally handicapped, are leeches.

    Now, since members of the GOP are such caring people, you should have no problem finding five initiatives that they have offered in the last 30 years or so that is solely designed to help the poor and middle class. Go.

    One party's agenda is advanced by creating more rich people, and one party's agenda is advanced by keeping as many people poor as possible.

    Care to guess which is which?
