They don't tell their "unpopular" secret plans because this is a hostile takeover and you never show the opposition your hand.
It's because it's the same failed policies and plans they've had for three decades. Slash taxes for the rich, start wars, give taxpayer money away like crazy to the corporations and cut all the lower and middle class programs whenever possible.
But have they ever balanced a budget? No. It's time to put the Democrats back in. Thirty plus years of Republican control has been a failure for America's middle class.
Vote straight Democrat 2012.
Had the Republican party in"OTHER"days nominated a slave-driver,it would have been idle to argue that it was a TRUSTWORTHY party of FREEDOM for the MIDDLE CLASS.@
Get rid of the jingoisms please, freedom, ho hum, it is meaningless tripe. I have to assume yours is the freedom from thinking for yourself as you ascribe to group think like the herd mentality.
Even Ronald R. the great's finance/budget buy says trickle down does not work. Why you want to go down anyhow? Try horseback riding, if you look down that is where you land. This is where the middle class has landed, down the tubes by the law of gravity which then we get entropy... and things in our country sure have fallen apart for most people.
The beginning of the endeavor to destroy the middle class started about 30 years ago. With the decline of unions, Right To Work taking hold, loss of overtime, salaries began stagnating, benefits growing smaller and smaller or non at all. The day of reasoning with your boss, negotiating for a raise became a thing of the past. Familiar phrase, "I can go out on the street and find another 100 just like you"! Romney's remarks regarding the 47% are just the tip of the iceberg. He said he was speaking off the cuff. Well that’s like saying off the record, that's when you tell how you really feel and think. The destruction of the middle class has been going on before our eyes and it seems the average hard working American has become desensitized over the years. It's akin to a slow moving landslide down a mountain the size of the Himalaya's, beginning so high, it was out of our view, but now we are feeling the dirt burying us. It’s all part of a design starting with the trickle down theory.
