My Dad is a big FDR guy. Once told me, “Cyber, the Republicans are for the rich, and the Democrats are for the workin’ guy.”

I asked him which party would he prefer if he ever wanted to be rich?

Yep, that was the right question. Great point.

One of the promises of our nation is that we can improve our lot immeasurably by sheer desire and work ethic. I am not the wealthiest guy around, but I do okay. I don’t want the government to set up road blocks so that I or my kids can’t attain all that I or their efforts can reap for me or them.

I grant the wealthy or anyone else, a free pass for advancing themselves. I expect them to do the same for me.

God forbid our nation turn into a hell-hole that doesn’t recognize this principle.
