Why do the working class in this state think the Pubs are on their side?
Here's the tax shift from the Legislatures school funding plan. Sure glad to see those well-deserved tax breaks for $100K+.

1. It Ain't Just Texas...
where the working class believes that. Come to the Heart of Dixie for further confirmation.

2. Because they are pawns
being used in a big game of fool the idiot masses while we sneak everything we want in the back door.

3. Because the Democrats have failed to make it clear
that the Republican platform of low taxes on high income and "flatearth" laissez-faire with regard to global trade as well as domestic economic policy has thrown the workingclasses overboard into the sea where they must compete with the lumpen labor of South Asia and Latin America for a limited supply of soggy, wormeaten lifepreservers.

The Democrats have failed to make this clear because too often they supported the exact same trade and economic policies creating an internationalized bourgeoisie and a globalized proletariat.
