Whose side are you on?
That's the Democratic mantra for the 2014 elections. It's the same people versus the powerful line that Democrats trot out every two years, because it works.
But this year Republicans can turn this narrative on its head and make the midterm elections a referendum. Are you on the side of the Republicans, taxpayers and free enterprise? Or are you on the side of President Obama, K Street and corporate welfare?
Two high-stakes corporate welfare issues could be on the table this year: taxpayer-backed subsidies for big exporters and Obamacare's insurer bailouts. Democrats are shackled to the corporate-welfare side on both these issues. Republicans -- if they side with their free-market principles over their big business donors -- can run against crony capitalism.
Republicans can be the party of the people this time around.

People vote according to their own situation, not whats happening on Wall Street, K Street or Easy Street, but Main Street
No, they vote based on their own situation and who they think cares about them. The GOP has been rapped as being the party of big business and for not caring about regular folks on Main Street. That’s a false narrative that cost the GOP the POTUS election in places like OH and FL.
There’s many other things to make it a “referendum on.” Corporate welfare is going to resonate with nobody whatsoever, except a few here who weren’t going to vote GOP anyway, and the Dems will be in the WH again.
We will have had, by election time, nearly six years of Obozo’s ‘Hope & Change’. People are not so jaded as to believe his policies are not responsible for what’s happening around them. The Democrat party will be decimated in November.....................
Like that's going to happen.

History shows that a lot will people will buy the Dem class warfare jive if there isn’t push back.
That 2% victory yesterday was hardly decimation. Don’t count your GOP chickens before they hatch.
Might want to wait until AFTER the campaign donations have rolled in.
Tax policy is not welfare. Subsidies are.
More people are than you would think: libertarian types, market conservatives, and many on the left as well.
Corporate welfare is now disguised as welfare for needy individuals and families.
The government borrows and then gives money to about half of consumers to purchase corporations’ products.
Everybody is happy- until the bill comes due.
What is corporate welfare?Subsidies, grants, money just plain given by government to corporations, laws made to favor corporations over small business, and so on.
