This is the voice of a former Eisenhower Republican who presently is witnessing the destruction of the middle class because of today's Republican politics and policies. Today, ideology trumps reality and practicality. The time has come for humans to take back the castles from the corporations. Comments are welcome, by the way.

Romney World
What is life like in
Romney World? Apparently in Romney
World there is a difference between “off-shoring” and “out sourcing”. In the real world, loss of a job or lay-off
is the same regardless of the reason.
In the real world, if you are employed and your employer decides you are
no longer needed and thus no longer employed, the reason does not really matter
as much as the need to figure out how you will keep a roof over your head and
food on your table. In Romney World,
teachers, police, and firefighters are not “middle class” but government
employees. In Romney World, government
employees are bad and there are too many of them. (What Romney fails to note is
the irony that he will end up spending millions of dollars in his attempt to
become a government employee.) In
Romney World, it is only necessary to claim there are solutions to all of our
problems. Romney continues to answer
questions by saying he “has a plan” but never goes the distance by telling
anyone just what that plan actually is and how that plan will actually solve
the problem. In many cases, when he has
revealed the workings of his “plan” independent observations conclude the
Romney plan makes things worse. Romney
World claims that he will do nothing to help the wealthy, but eliminating
inheritance tax, capital gains taxes and further reducing the top marginal tax
rates not only help the wealthy, but add to the deficit he claims to “plan” to
eliminate. Romney World also asserts
that there is no need to help the poor because of the existence of a safety
net, but Romney’s plan will result in massive cuts in funding for the various
safety net programs. Finally, even dogs
question life in Romney World:
