    Why am I a Republican? Growing up my father, a union man, was of course a strong Democrat. Although only 16 at the time I supported JFK, primarily because he was Catholic. In the summer after I graduated from high school in 1963 I read "Atlas Shrugged". It changed my life. Still stupid I supported LBJ in his 1964 bid, until I picked up a flyer that was attacking Barry Goldwater. I read all the "evil" things that Goldwater was supposed to be in favor of and realized he and I had many similar viewpoints. LBJ's "Great Society" sounded so much like the collectivism outlined in "Atlas Shrugged" I took a closer look at the Republican Party and never looked back.

    The Republican Party has not always lived up to my ideals, the Bush's for example were nothing more than Democrat Lite. Nixon's "mixed economy" wasn't a lot better. However, the Republicans always are right of center and that's better than what we are seeing in the Democrat Party today, full blown socialism.

    Nixon was probably one of the most liberal presidents in history. Under his administration, we got the EPA, food stamps, the end of the Bretton Woods Gold Standard (which caused the original spike in oil prices), wage and price controls, federalization of Medicaid.

    This guy signed into law more LIBERAL policies than any TWO Democrat presidents combined. He makes LBJ look like Reagan.

    List of countries by share of income of the richest one percent



    Country % of income of the richest 1%
    Qatar 29.0
    Brazil 28.4
    Chile 23.7
    Lebanon 23.4
    Turkey 23.4
    United Arab Emirates 22.8
    Iraq 22.0
    India 21.3
    Colombia 20.4
    Russia 20.2
    Thailand 20.2
    United States 20.2
    Kuwait 19.9
    Saudi Arabia 19.7
    Oman 19.5
    South Africa 19.2
    Egypt 19.1
    Bahrain 18.0
    Ivory Coast 17.1
    Iran 16.3

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_share_of_income_of_the_riches t_one_percent


    ************************************************** ************************************************** ****************

    Once again Republicans have proven to be "catchy phrases" devoid of the facts - America has the dubious honor of being currently tied with Russia and Thailand as 10th in the list of countries by share of income of the richest one percent!


    Take note that America is positioned among the world's oil sheikhs and oligarchs - not the other liberal democracies because the criteria for any healthy democracy is a more equal redistribution of wealth that provides for more "winners" and fewer "losers!"


    Given that income doesn't even represent the largest source of wealth for America's 1%, the concentration of financial assets in private hands is far greater!


    The $1 trillion Republican tax cut in the middle of a "bear market" that was counterproductive as a fiscal policy, was strictly designedas a means to to reward Republican contributors was financed by the American taxpayer - many of whom are now facing food shortages and possible eviction!


    American "capitalism" is welfare for the wealthy!
