We have debated over and over on which party is best for our country. Well let us do a history lesson. For how many years have we had a democratic congress in American as versus a republican one? 32 times the democrats wrote the laws, drew up the taxes, and passed the bills as versis 12 1/2 times  that the republicans did. In all this time how often have your taxes been cut?

The problem with our country is easily blamed on republicans but if you actually look up the amount of time democrats have had the majority rule in congress and compare it to the amount of time with republicans there becomes a patern. If the democrats are so good at running the country then where did this mess come from. Now mind you the first 5 times republicans held the majority in congress was back in 1923 t0 1933 in which time it was a split congress some of the time.

Now we all know the democrats run on the stance they are for the lower and middle incomes and what is best for them, so if this is the case then why in the 32 times they were majority leaders did they not look out for them? They have had a longer rule and enough time to show they are for working class people with middle and lower incomes. Yet they have done very little for any one except their party.

Now take into account that they have had more than twice as long as republicans to change our country, lower our taxes and work for the people. How much has been done? How many times were your taxes lowered and by which party? Then ask yourselfs this, who freed up social security so it could be drained? Who voted in this give the people who can't afford it loans and morgages?

When you start a system of welfare some one has to pay and despite their promises that it will be the rich it has been you and I and not the rich. How often have the democrats raised your taxes? the just voted out Bush's tax cut so start there, how often have they raised taxes on the rich and what have you? Do yourself and your country a favor and actually go look up the facts as versus what you are told. It is time we as a people take a history lesson on who runs our country and what party actually did what.

If you  will not do this then you have no one but yourself to blame for voting and not knowing what your party really does. Look at the state of our nation now. Go look up who ran congress when this began, because it is congress that runs our nation, they pass the taxes, they write the laws, they are responsible for our budget. Take the time to learn about the ruining, and that is not a miss spelling, of our nation.

I am a reformed democrat now republican and mother of 5, have 10 grandchildren and one greatgrand child. I have lived all over the US and love to sit on docks and fish. Waiting for the big one. I love my family and a good joke, reading and painting. My siblings all think I need to be taken care of as do my children and I'm the oldest so don't know why. I watch Fox 4 News because you are about the fairest all around on T.V.
