The Republican Party has defined itself this week by their votes.
1. Republicans are against an increase in the minimum wage. If you are struggling to feed your kids and keep a roof over their heads, the GOP wants you to keep you struggling.
2. If you want an end to the war in Iraq, don't look to the Republicans to do anything about it. The Republicans voted to keep the war going and there is no plan as to when our kids can come home.
3. The Republicans voted to cut estate taxes. This will help those very wealthy types who can now give more money to the Republican Party. The GOP wants to keep their friends close. This allows people like Paris Hilton to inherit her money without paying too many taxes.
In summary, here is what the Republicans have shown us---
>Raise the minimum wage? Republicans are not going to do it.
>Bring the troops home? Republicans are not going to do it.
>Provide tax cuts to the wealthy and their estates. Republicans will do it.
I cannot understand how anyone can support the Republicans.
