The Republicans stand for the following:
MORE taxes for the poor, because they are not poor enough. They should have their benefits all cut off to teach them responsibility.
FEWER taxes for the rich, because they are still not rich enough. They should be incentivized by special deals to allow them to grab an even bigger slice of the pie.
The rich and the "people" known as corporations have not hired workers in the past seven years because they want all the Juniorbush tax cuts to be permanent.
Convince workers that they are better off with low paying, non-union jobs and that their interests and the boss's interests are one and the same. Your company is your "family" and you should be loyal to it and your boss's political party in return. Of course, you might be told to pack up your belongings and empty your desk and leave accompanied by security someday if the boss no longer wants or needs you in his "family".
Convince them of how grateful they should be for not having their jobs outsourced or their workplaces looted by vulture capitalists out for a quick buck.
Convince them that the taxes that the poor pay (sales taxes, payroll taxes, state and local taxes, including their landlord's property taxes) are not really taxes at all.
Convince them that the professionals that teach their children, deserve working class wages, and they should be denied unions, collective bargaining and that they are the "elitist" enemies of the workers.
