NC Democrats
I often hear it proclaimed that the Democrats are the party of the people and that they support the "working man," while the Republicans support "big business" and the rich. As can be seen by the actions of the North Carolina General Assembly, that is not the case with Democrats in North Carolina.
The budget that passed the Liberal Democrat-led North Carolina Senate raises taxes by $1.7 billion on the people of North Carolina (not including things like the 13% Mecklenburg County Democrat property tax increase). In the past 5 years, the Democrats in the General Assembly have increased spending over 31%!
Corporations and individuals making over $200,000 will see DECREASES in their tax bills. Everyone else will see increases. The biggest tax increases? The lottery, the cigarette tax, and the sales tax -- all which will hit those who have less money even harder.
If you're in North Carolina, and you've voted for Democrats all your life, please take a close look at the party and the people you're supporting. They do NOT support you -- they are raising YOUR taxes on everything (including newspapers, telephones, cable TV, cigarettes, sales tax, property taxes, income taxes, etc). They are NOT your father's Democratic Party. They are NOT the party of the "working man."

Now that you Republicans are the party of the working man, what are some of the ways you will improve their lives? What specific Bush policies are aimed at helping the working man?
And when you see the working man, will you tell him he is late for work?
Thanks,
Dave

Well, this was actually directed specifically at North Carolina...but the policies of conservatives (not one of which I fully put Bush in the category of) is simple: Give people freedom. How? Every single way possible.
Primary ways: reduce government spending in all categories, reduce/remove government regulation everywhere, reduce taxes on everyone.

Here here! I have been saying things like that for a while, I just get a lot of rolling eyes from my demo-friends.

"Give people freedom. How? Every single way possible.

I see nothing wrong with that. I'm particularly appalled that the biggest increase in spending is on stuff that ruins lives, and the pople who create these machines of death. Our lives have been more regulated over the past few years, not less. We now have less freedom, not more.
I saw we reduce taxation to zero. Hell, I'm smart. I can get by. I'll never meet most the other schmucks anyway. Screw em!
Roads and stuff like that only benefit car makers and gas dealers. Let em turn back to fields. They are a waste of earth and pavement.
I am hoping the Democratic Zero Tax Pledge will gather steam. Taxes could have been a good idea, but now we see what it all goes to, and it is not very Godly. It is Hellish. Squeeze it out by nixing out taxes, and things will automatically improve.
Join us in calling for the complete end of taxation and regulation...before they take it all and make themselves even more filthy.
