[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anything in the current GOP's platform designed around anything other than more dollars in the pocket of big business and billionaires?

I feel like all the conversation about policy minutiae (is climate change real? how do we fund high-risk pools?) are completely pointless, because the decisions are driven by cost-cutting for business and the possiblity of lower taxes for very rich people.

Let's just get it out in the open.[/quote]

The Trump brand has always been about proud greed and our country somehow picked him to lead. Apparently, a lot of Americans are totally impressed by greed so they're fine with this platform too.[/quote]

Sure, Trump takes the greed to a new and outlandish level, but let's face it, the GOP has always been about gaming the system to work for the 1%.  Virtually every policy they want to dismantle has a big gain for the big corporation or super rich investor and virtually nothing for the rest of us.

Heck, the whole healthcare debate is predicated on the assumption that we must protect big healthcare businesses and insurers when what is in the best interest of the average American is a single payer system which would cost the individual far less than any health insurance would - and by most estimates be far less costly to our national economy.  We now have the AHCA (aka Trumpcare) and whaddya know? A big tax cut for wealthy Americans is tucked away in the plan.

We've got piggies at the trough.  And to be fair, the GOP is the worst of it, but the Democratic party is guilty, too. [/quote]
