Chick Chat: The Party of Control

be warned: what you find below are generalizations.

.........................................................................................................................................

Here is how I see it. The democrat party claims to be the accepting party. The party whose base comes from believing that the government is there to solve peoples problems. They believe in high taxes for the wealthy so that funds can be distributing away to those that need the help.

That is all fine and dandy but look at this article describing how pro-obamacare groups/companies are outspending the anti-obamacare crowd. In the 2008 election the Obama/Biden campaign spent more than McCain/Palin campaign. If you look at liberal vs conservative organizations it seems that the liberals are always the ones with more funds for advertising and grassroots campaigns etc.

Why is that? Why is it that the group of the working class seems to have more money for advertisements? Why is it that the group that claims to be filled with people "just like you" is the group that spends more money trying to tell you that?

Well it seems to me that the distribution of political beliefs is indicative of where you are in the social system. Yes, we have a social system! It is impossible to not see that there are different levels of economic success in this, or any country.

The super wealthy can afford to be liberals because it won't affect their bottom line much in the end. The upper-middle, middle and lower-middle class seem to be more realistic and understand that if taxes go up their bottom line will be hurting. While the lower income crowd don't really seem to have a bottom line, they support whoever will support them.

I would probably say that the super wealthy and lower have grown tremendously in the past couple decades. Which to me explains why our country has become increasingly more liberal, our middle class has shrunk. The super wealthy have increased in size while the bottom has dropped on many American families creating a larger lower income community. So while many year ago this country was firmly embracing its strong middle class, over the years that number has shifted giving America a terrible headache.

A while back I listened to this video on youtube made by a black conservative republican and he made some excellent points that really opened up my eyes to the way the democratic party interacts with the lower income communities. Take a moment...



Hopefully you took a moment to watch that video before continuing to read. You see if I were in a bad financial situation I would understand the need of government help. If I didn't know any better I would think, damn look at all these wealthy Republicans! Sitting on their pedestals thinking their better than me because they have money. Give me some of that money to help me out of this situation!!!

But what I'm trying to say is, if all the wealthy s.o.b's of this country are Republican's then why aren't we outdoing our Liberal counterparts in advertisements? Why don't we see conservative grassroots campaigns paying people to go protest on their behalf? Why don't we see more GOP party leaders coming from the Hampton's and Beverly Hills?? Why don't we see the super wealthy Hollywood speaking out?

The answer is simple and I'm going to put it simply. Democrats are wealthy ALSO! Lets take one group as an example. Think of the celebrities. Do they have money? Yes. Are they mostly liberal? Yes. Can they afford to be liberal? Yes.

So what's the problem here. The problem is that democrats think government can make everything better, they think that by redistributing wealth they can fix all the countries woes. But what they don't realize (well some of them do and keep quite about it) is that by redistributing the goods, by helping out the lower income group, you disassemble the middle class. If the wealthy democrats can keep the lower income base large, strong and reliant then they have a large, strong and reliant electoral base to keep them in power.

Listen up, It isn't about helping the little guy whose fallen in hard times. Its about keeping people under their control so that they can stay in the position of power.

So when I see people claiming that the Republican's are the elite class I just want to knock some sense into them because that is an out-"left" lie. Yes, we have wealthy elite on our side, but so does the Democrat party. Maybe at some point in history the Republicans were the only wealthy politicians and supporters out there, but that is no longer the case. I would be more likely to believe that that balance has shifted more than the liberals are willing to admit.
