Do you plan on retiring? When you do....will you be sending back your Social Security check? Democrats made that possible. After you have retired and you go to the doctor - will you Medicare be paying any part of the bill? Thank a democrat. Do you get overtime when you work? Is your workplace reasonably safe? Thank a democrat.
When I grew up in the 1960's (democratic administrations) my dad worked and mom stayed home with the kids. Same thing with just about all of my friends - dads worked, moms were taking care of the house. One income, yet all of us took vacations...had comfortable homes....some had boats for weekend recreation....people were getting new cars. All on one income.
When Reagan ushered in the boon to the middle class (ha)....moms started having to enter the workforce to help maintain the household. Back in the good old democratic 60's, we put a man on the moon and companies were hiring because they were growing. After the boon to the middle class 80's rolled around....rather than put a man on the moon, we had RJ Reynolds merging with Nabisco...Sunbeam with Coleman...Exxon with Mobil. Sprint with Nextel. Later...under republicans we had airlines (I'm guessing that you are familiar with them) merging with other airlines until we reached today....where we have FEWER airlines than we did in the 1960's. And of course there were some "synergies" (people doing the same job) that we could eliminate and we outsourced everything to save a nickle. Made the guys at the top wealthy as hell....how did it help the middle class?
So we had a booming middle class, and income and medical care in retirement under democrats. SO...if they are so bad and republicans so good....how come you can't answer Kev's question? Bullet points will do....name 3 things republicans have done to help the middle class. It should be noted that republicans pretty much opposed all of those democratic plans I cited. So come on....3 simple things that they have done to make your life better.
