The Democrat Party and the Republican Party

There are differences and a similarity between the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. First the similarity, both parties like to spend, and spend, and spend. That’s how their office holders get re-elected.

The differences are that the Democrats will tax you into oblivion in the here and now to support their spending. The Republicans will put your children and your children’s children into lock with their borrowing to support their spending.

At least the Democrats put their jobs on the line. If their taxing and spending get too out of hand they can be voted out of office. None of that for the Republicans, those cowards, they will be long gone and retired when their bills come due and your kids have to pay for their borrowing.

What about this argument? (I'm guilty of this myself.)

As taxes go up, there is a greater incentive to vote for the person who will bring home the most bacon, even if you disagree with taxing and spending in principle.

That's how I justified voting for Ted Kennedy.

Nobody was ever voted out of office for promising or delivering too much.
