Got a piece of mail from a Republican candidate for State
Senator in NC; I won’t say his name; and it opens with a very familiar quote
from Ronald Reagan; a man who would be horrified at what has happened to his “conservative
movement.” The quote is as follows;
“Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the Democrats
believe that every day is April 15th.”
Okay, let’s examine those words. They are designed to leave
the impression that all republicans are patriotic and all democrats are tax and
spend freeloaders. Think about it; if you believe in using your taxes as a way
to fund programs you are actually being fiscally responsible.
This is very unlike the Republicans, who wail on about the
ills of “redistribution” of the wealth; all while they vote for tax breaks they
know we cannot afford. Those tax breaks are paid for with the money from the social
programs which have been paid for by the taxes which they are exempt from. Sounds
like redistribution of the wealth to me; just in the wrong direction!
It was a slick piece of mail with but one flaw; it made me
think…
For the record; I am
an unaffiliated voter.
