You know, it's sad to see a well-thought out and researched document that makes many excellent points be totally ruined by a never-ending series of rants and name-calling against the opposition that also predictably ignores a few inconvenient facts. I was dissecting the problems but it was turning into a wall of text. I'll sum it up easily enough in a smaller wall of text: Since the 1930s: - All bad things that have happened are because of the evil Republicans going out of their way to screw the little guy. After all, Republicans never do good and only make mistakes. - All good things that have happened are because of the courageous and saintly Democrats cleaning up the messes of the Republicans. After all, Democrats always do good and never make mistakes. - If a Republican President spends an incredible amount of money to win a war, it was bad. If a Democrat President spends an incredible amount of money to win a war, it was good. Never mind the fact that Congress spends the money, not the President who only presents a wish-list. - If something bad happens: Republican is President means mention it, Democrat is President means ignore it. Republicans control Congress means mention it, Democrats control Congress means ignore it. If something good happens: swap first set of rules. - If something bad happens: Republican President and Democrat Congress, blame President. Democrat President and Republican Congress, blame Congress. Republican President and Republican Congress, blame Republicans. Democrat President and Democrat Congress, blame Republicans. If something good happens: swap first set of rules. For the problems we see in today's world created by government, I blame the Republicans and Democrats involved. For the good things created by government, I credit the Republicans and Democrats involved. Only a fool goes with the us-vs-them mentality.
