Democrats Are the People's Party, Republicans are the Corporatists Party
I
agree with the premise that everyone has the inalienable right to be
successful, to start a business, to earn money so long as it doesn't hurt
others, to compete in a competitive market, and to strive for efficiency and
advancement using economics as a means of doing so. Republicans have no
interest in creating a legal framework which allows you as business or
individual to challenge corporate power. We see this example where large
corporations are now allowed to require you to sign away your rights to enter
into a class-action lawsuit against a company...one of the greatest mechanisms
that consumers had to fight corporate abuse. Or the abuses by natural or
publicly regulated monopolies or privatized public institutions like prisons.
Then there's the free trade agreements with various poor nations which allow
corporations to send jobs for substandard labor costs at the expense of our own
labor force. The Trans Pacific Partnership which would give corporate giants
enormous power to override local democracies decisions about food and product
regulation. Too much power is being given to corporations at the expense of the
citizen and the worker. If you want a competitive society and a world where
everyone's opportunity to be successful is tallied by the amount of hard work
they put into a goal, then you want to vote for Democrats. Democrats have been
fighting for social justice, for policies that create a fair and competitive
business environment, and a system of justice that is fair and equitable. A
system where corporations don't buy politicians. Where we have a congress that
cares that they have a 9% approval rating instead of ignoring it like this
congress has. Where people are put first before profits, and where abusers of
their power are brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law regardless of the cost. Vote for Democrats when you vote this next midterm
election and embrace a political party that cares about the little guy as much
as the big guy equally. Vote for Democrats if you want a party that puts
pragmatism ahead of ideology, and Vote for Democrats if you want a government
that doesn't try to shove narrow-minded values down your throat by the way of
legislation. Vote Democrat.
