I was waiting for this response, and you know what, you're right. I wasn't sure if anyone here would be smart enough to point out the clear counter to my elitist sounding rant. It's fucking true and I can't deny it. I do look down on the ignorant masses, like many elite, well educated Democrat doctors, lawyers and other professionals. It's true and I see how the downtrodden working class can get tired of it. I do get that. They don't feel spoken for by the establishment. They believe trump speaks for them because he doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold. Sadly, it doesn't change the fact that a majority of those ignorant, uneducated white trash, rural voters are fucking stupid. And trump doesn't speak for them at all. That tactic worked but they won't directly benefit from his plans. The "true middle" class rarely do from Republican tax plans. I'm sorry but I can't help look down on those type of voters. They are the decay, ignorance and laziness of this nation and frankly, it's those voters that put this idiot in the white house. So in fairness, your response is well reasoned and accurate, I can't even really deny it. But I also make no excuses for having a real disdain for idiot Midwestern Republicans entrenched in outdated religious and social beliefs. That kind of thinking is slowing the advancement and evolution of mankind in general.
Given my income and tax bracket, it benefits me most to vote Republican. That typically always benefits someone above middle class income. I will also be running a small company (firm) in the future which means Republican tax ideas are even more beneficial to me. If self interest were my motivation, I'd be Republican. But I vote for a party and leaders that want an ideal and a system that makes it better for everyone. Trumps tax cuts will likely benefit me more than a large majority of his supporters who put him in office. His Republican tax changes won't help them, that's a fact. But I still can't do it. I can't go that route my ideology won't let me.
The one thing that may come of this that actually does end up helping middle class is a reworking of health care. The affordable care act was reform that got butchered. It failed and allowed insurance companies to gouge the customers and pass expense they refused to absorb onto us. We may see better premiums and plans in another year or 2 because I think both sides agree it's completely out of hand right now. And it's not Obamacare, it's the juggernaut health insurance companies using it as leverage. Do you think their profits suffered, no sir. The cost was passed on to us.
. Nearly all key issues i favor are the ones held by the conservatives. Right or Left. Will i vote for a democrat in the future? Sure, if they hold my views absolutely i would! This is the fair way of doing things...
