The platform of the republican party is pure corporatist. The platform for the democratic party is a populous. Their are corporate bitches in the Democratic party, but they do not represent the ideas of the Democratic party. The corporate bitches in the republican party are following the party line!
I disagree. The are Governmentist. The masses are not repesented often, the government is. Big difference. And you are delerious to think the dems aren't following the party line. They have always been that way.{/QUOTE]

Also, jobs meean nothing if they don't generate wealth. The less of the wealth you create or can control, the less you will generate jobs.
A vague and way too general statement. If corporations keep you in debt, how can you generate wealth?

Corporations keeping yoju in debt, are you serious ? There is way more debt generation by the Government than any other entity in existence. There is competition in the private sphere, bu none in the governmental sphere. Example, since degregulation in the airline industry, the price of an airline ticket is not much more than what you would have paid 20 years ago. Look a the taxes now. There is a $10 security fee, and a $15 9-11 fee. How many attacks were stopped by your precious TSA agents ? None.
The Federal Gov't. gets 12 cents for every single gallon of gas sold, and that is on top of the taxes charged for refining gas, and other charges on the commercial vehicles that carry it, and our roads are in a bad state of repair.
Come on. The Gov does a far better job at keeping you poor that private industry ever could.

Does wealth trickle up
Could you provide a link where it does?

What happened in 1983-84 Thought?
Until you answer that, your words mean nothing.
I agree but this crisis was in the makings no matter who was in charge. Gore more than likely wouldn't have pushed for any new financial regulations because they wouldn't have seen them as necessary since everything was moving so smoothly. Without that additional oversight and legislation, there would have been nothing to save Lehman Brothers or AIG from what would happen 7 years later.
With all due respect. Let's not engage in historical amnesia. Gore most likely would not have gone in to Iran, even if 911 did occur under his watch. This would have lessen the unfunded burdens that the unpaid for war, tax cuts and Medicare Part D incurred.
We did enter a slight recession at the end of the Clinton administration, but GW's way of dealing with it was to stimulate the economy by ramping up the military industrial complex and give tax cuts to the wealthy. Even the most cynical would have to admit that Gore would not have taken that tactic.
The main difference is without Medicare Part D, two unfunded wars, and a supply side based tax cut (not just for the wealthy but heavily to their benefit), the country would have been on a better financial footing to recover.
Why are the "Bush tax cuts" viewed as a negative when it increased federal tax revenues? Other than that, I agree about the Medicare part D & the Wars
