Waiting for return to Republican policies

I awoke recently with an epiphany regarding my ideology: Being a moderate, middle class, “we the people” type Democrat is old-fashioned, frustrating and non-productive. The answer is the Republican Party as backed by corporate America, special interest groups and unlimited financial support.

In the past 30 years, we have managed to nearly eradicate unions and the middle class, we have reduced taxes on the wealthy by 50 percent and the inequality between rich and poor favors the rich. Our future is bright, the 2014 election for House is secure, the Senate can be taken and the governors must remain Republican so we can change the voting requirements and control the minority vote.

Once we survive 2014, we will be in a great position to win 2016. President Barack Obama will be gone and Hillary Clinton, like most women, is not qualified. The political attacks on this administration have an effect and must be continued against Clinton.

After the 2016 election, we can continue the Reagan/Bush trickle-down economics that has generated so much wealth for our side. The Romney/Ryan economic plan was the right idea. Cut taxes on the upper brackets of income (20 percent), invest this money to create jobs for the less fortunate. Forty-seven percent of Americans do not pay taxes. Government support for these kind of lazy people must be eliminated.

All entitlements must be lowered or eliminated starting with welfare, housing, food stamps, unemployment, education, disability, health care and minimum wage laws.
