The difference between Democrats and Republicans, in a nutshell.

[Jeebo]

Democrats think rich people have too much, and poor people have too little.

Republicans think rich people have too little, and poor people have too much.

6. The Republicans have morphed into a pack of jackals who want to kill or enslave their self-defined

enemies, and will sacrifice their own to do it. They see it as war, and almost never give an inch.

Democrats just want their opponents (many refuse to look at them as enemies) to submit themselves to their 'better angels' and behave in a more humane fashion, plus many don't want to put anyone at risk. They see it as a philosophical dispute, and are willing to make compromise an oft-employed default stance.

Long-wave history says the first group will eventually win, unless the second group adopts some of the first group's precepts.

7. Very Well Put, Sir

One thing I have seen I like a good deal:


'Republicans say giving poor people money makes them lazy, but that giving rich people money makes them work harder.'

8. I always liked this:

Democrats are afraid there are people who aren't getting what they need while Republicans are afraid that someone is getting something they don't deserve.
