Just in case you're not sure if you're a Dem. or Rep.
TAXES
Dems = less tax for the poor and middle class and more tax on the rich
Rep= less tax for the rich and a little more tax on the middle class
HEALTH
Dems = Universal health care for all children and improved health care plans for many of the rest of the millions of American without healthcare.
Rep = let everyone pay for their health care out of the tax breaks, which I will give them if they buy health insurance, [ which means tax breaks for people who can afford expensive health plan, but not for those who already can't afford one]
& ;nb sp; THE WAR
Dems = start pulling troops out of Iraq but send some more to fight Bin Laden in Afghanistan
Rep = no rush to pull them out yet, maybe some day , but if and when we do, then we can send lots of troops to Afghanistan
ECONOMY
Dems = massive 10 year alternate energy plan putting millions to work, and stop sending money to the Arabs , partly paid for by a tax
on the huge profits the oil companies just made
Rep= more tax breaks for oil companies so they can drill for more oil, and
no tax breaks for alternative energy development
Dems = more Regulation of industries so we don't have the mortgage and financial mess we now have, with big companies robbing us blind.
Rep=&nbs p; less regulation or none at all
Dems = tax breaks for companies that stay in America
Rep=tax breaks for companies that Leave America
SOCIAL SECURITY
Dems = since the rich only pay Social Security tax on a little of their income while the rest of us pay tax on ALL our income, we can save Social Security just by making the rich pay on just a little more of their income then they pay now, not even on all, like the rest of us do.
Rep= I don't know what I can do yet to save Social Security but I'll think of something.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Dems = woman's right to choose with her health decisions made with her doctors advice, and more measures to prevent unwanted pregnancies so there will be less abortions
Rep = anti-abortion , anti Sex education, we will tell the doctors and nurses what they could and should do.
Dems = Equal rights for gays
Rep= damn them to hell
EDUCATION
Dems = teach science in science class, and religion in religion class.
Rep = teach religion in science class, take the science out .
Dems = massive investment in our public schools and teachers, paid for out of the money we save getting out of Iraq .
Rep = school vouchers - which will bankrupt many public schools, and give lots of money to the rich who's kids are already in private schools
So whose plans do you like?
