This is such a huge number, and I imagine it's very much in line with historical trends - what exactly is it about the democratic policies/platforms that enables them to dominate the minority vote so much?

The economic believes are more supportive of the lower-class income groups. The Republicans policies are more strongly supporting the upper-class income levels. Most minority group policies that have been approved in the past have gone through democratic presidents.

JFK - Democratic (Civil Rights).. just as 1 example.

Republicans are seen as always favoring big white fatcat businessmen, where Democrats are seen as favoring the hardworking American middle class and underprivilaged. Republicans also run on an evangelical protestant base, Democrats are broader religiously. Not to stereoype, but minorities are poorer than whites and not as into the "YOU'RE GOIN' TO HELL!!!" church policy, so they favor Democrats.

Interesting... I personally believe the typical economical stereotypes to be rather incorrect.

Democrats seem to place a disproportionate amount of focus on lower-income workers (which doesn't necessarily imply certain ethnic groups - depends more on the area under consideration). Moderate Republicans seem to pay the closest attention to the financial bell curve, which places a proportionally large amount of importance on the middle-class.

It is of utmost importance that America work hard to increase the numbers belonging to it's middle class. If the middle-class is growing appropriately, then the upper-class can pay increased taxes (as the middle-class is now providing the upper-class with increased revenue), and the middle-class can enjoy lower taxes. When the economy is not improving (or not improving quickly enough), then the government must lower taxes on the upper-class in order to assist the growth of the middle-class.

Economic change is 1000x more important than the current state of the economy (differential economics...). However, the method by which to affect economic change _is_ a function of the current state. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but the country as a whole must come before its individuals and minorities. It's time to stop bitching about the way Republicans "favor" the upper-class. Everything should/does have a reason.

Riiiiiight....and when Ashton Kutcher and Ben Affleck both save a million plus in taxes this year, that's for the good of the whole, right?

You might have a point but it seems a bit assbackwards, and definitely not genuine, to me.

sillyrabbit

juana....a minority is "a group of people who differ racially or politically from a larger group of which it is a part"......in America, the word minority tends to refer to race...meaning anyone thats not white is a minority because the dominant(larger group) race is white

jdwalke

Hehe. I really don't have a clue what Hollywood stars and many celebrities pay in taxes each year, and I really don't think their few dollars makes much of a difference. They do not comprise a significant amount of the "upper-class."

Genuine? I guarantee that I pulled that post out of my own ass... Regardless, I wouldn't ask anyone on this forum (that I know of) to make economic decisions for this country. I just felt like brutally imposing my $0.02 on everyone else.

If you must know, I thoroughly enjoy mathematics, and I know that a majority of Americans are unaware of its usefulness in everyday life and economic policy.

AmorMiHombre

Well it might be dominant, but it sure ain't larger....

AmorMiHombre

Heh, aww, no! I wasn't saying YOU weren't genuine, i was saying the tax cuts for the rich and the reasons they were implemented weren't all correct/right reasons.

Heh, but i'm glad i did call them out because for a second i thought i might be talking with an economics professor but after you admitting you pulled it from your ass i'm glad i piped up.

P.S. Oprah is worth billions, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Ben Affleck, Cameron Diaz, et cetera make TWENTY MILLION dollars a movie!! A lot of them pull in at least 10 mill a year, i would say they comprise enough of the upper class in this country to count...i mean anyone who can SAVE a million on their taxes is doing pretty fucking well for themselves..Shit, i don't think most of us will ever be in the position where we'll have to PAY a million, more or less SAVE it during tax season.

jdwalke

LOL... Yeah, it's entirely too late for productive thought. However, my opinion of economics is derived directly from discussions with educated mathematics professors.

I could never indulge in the study of economics. Computer/electrical engineering is about all that I can handle. :happycow:

It isn't until *we* minorities start making decent money that we want to be republicans. *We* tend to side over with the democrats because of the higher taxes on richer people and tend to forget all the catholic teachings about no abortion, no divorce, no getting head in the oval office. The democrats see this and then throw pro-immigration/residence issues, *we* gobble it up and then nothing gets done.

In cali, we had Pete Wilson who FUCKED it all up for us. Then came a bunch of other people who waived appealing stuff at us, but it STILL hasnt been done.

I voted repubican and will contnue to do so.

I'm not saying all minorities are lazy, but the dems have been offering hand outs and pandering to the lower class for years. Look what it's done, nothing.

Most republicans would rather be offered an oppourtunity, that we can take and do something with.

I dont like alot of the dem tactics/ideas, hand outs run out and the person who recieved it is back in the same boat when the money is gone.

I guess alot of people dont think about the long haul or they just dont want to work hard.

Also, many are born and bred hard core dems. The problem is democrats such as FDR and Truman are no longer in high positions. I'm sure their out there.

The party has changed since the time of our grandparents, alot of people do not realize that.
