No, Dems and Reps DON’T want the same things

We’ve all heard this before:  “Democrats and Republicans want the same things”

Democrats want equality for everyone.  That’s what our country is all about.

That’s not socialism.  It’s nothing more than being humanitarian.

Dems want fairness – not handouts.  Dems want those who work hard to be rewarded – not abused and kicked to the curb by taking away benefits, job protections and denial of health care benefits.

It’s not rocket science.  It’s common sense.

Here are some hard facts:

Republicans don’t want everyone to have:

• regulations, rules, laws that protect consumers
• health care for all
• advanced education for all
• fair, living wages with union protections and benefits for all
• clean air and water for all
• safe products for all
• human rights for all
• free speech for all
• fire and police protection for all
• everything else required to live a clean, healthy life for all
• equal rights for all
• gay rights for all
• proportionally fair taxes – the more you make, the more you pay

The only thing they want everyone to have access to is guns and ammunition. The very same things that take away life instead of preserving it.  Guns DO kill people – and so do the knuckle dragging idiots carrying them.

They love to play the “blame the victim” game, by insisting that the victims wouldn’t have gotten killed or hurt if they had used a gun, too.

They believe in letting people who can’t work die off so those of us who can work can take their jobs.

They don’t believe in competition between workers – They believe in creating competition between fellow workers to drive down wages and benefits.  This is where our country is at RIGHT NOW.

It’s a “kill or be killed” mentality.

And I think this country has had more than enough of it in the past decade.
