Why I will Never Again Vote For A Democrat

The Democrat Party in the United States has become the party of fools - or liars. They have justly earned either or both descriptions on several fronts. One is enough to convince me.

That one is the determination to look facts in the eye and declare them untrue. Barack Obama repeatedly asserts that Republican policies have been tried and did not work. It is politically incorrect to call the POTUS a liar, but it is incredulous to believe he does not have access to the facts about the Reagan policies.

For example, Reagan cut the top tax rate from 70% to 28%. In 1979, before Reagan, the top 1% of income earners paid 18.3% of the total tax bill. In 2006, the last year for which we have numbers, the top 1% paid 39.1% of the total tax bill. Likewise, in 1979, the bottom 40% of earners paid 4.1% of all taxes. By 2006, they were receiving 3.3% in direct payments from the U.S. Treasury. Today, Democrats insist that increasing taxes on "the rich" will benefit the middle class. In light of historical facts, are they fools or liars?

Under Reagan's policies, economic growth grew. Per capita GDP grew. Per capita income grew. Can you believe Obama does not have access to these and many other figures proving the success of  Republican policies? Or, like me, can you believe he is denying those fact to create class warfare and garner votes?

But... will this class warfare work? In 2000, Al Gore ran on a platform of  "People vs. The Powerful". He lost the election. In 2008, John Edwards touted his theory of "Two Americas"... the 99% against the 1%. He lost in the primaries.

Today, the Democrats see more and more Americans distracted from following and understanding the news. More and more Americans misled by a dishonest news media. They now believe they can try the class warfare tactic one more time... this time, perhaps, with success.
