Stand on the backs and shoulders of millions of people before them, they got their sandwich not just because they may have worked hard but because 1000's of others who are not as successful as them worked hard to get them that sandwich.

Republicans live in a fantasy world where anyone can be successful completely ignoring that capitalism requires a huge pool of working poor for others to profit from, after all cant pay the stock guy or the burger flip a 100,000 a year now can we and we don't hire these people unless we profit from their labor which means we have to make more from them then what we pay them yet another thing republicans don't seem to understand.

If they could show me one country where even half of Americans would be OK living in that doesn't look after their poor, sick or elderly then maybe their arguments would be worth looking at, but the most successful country's i can find that practice republican economics is Mexico,Russia and Pakistan not exactly great places to live but Democrats have places like Australia,Germany,Britain and Finland.


Wonder how many Republicans would be OK with Russia's Economy, considering they practice Republican economics to a tee.
