New Label: Economic DINOS..

I throw the word DINO around a lot when I rant about GOP Light Democrats. I usually get some kind of social response to why they are not GOP Light. I guess I should be more specific.

So I will call them Economic DINO's. They have the same economic ideology as the GOP. Massive tax cuts and breaks to the rich and corporations in the hopes that some of it trickles down.

Lets face it the Democratic Party was in power when NAFTA got signed.
I can not think of the last time a pro-labor or pro-worker bill has passed congress except maybe for FMLA.

Many Dem's believe in Hoover/Reagonmics.

I can understand why some Unions want to use money to recruit more members instead of wasting money lobbying congress to no gain or at best try to maintain current labor laws.

The only reason we notice them now is that there are an increased number of Republicans.

that cause deficits and/or leave minimum social needs best met by government unmet.

by assuming not too many of them are fiscal conservatives. I would think the number of fiscal conservatives (who do not want debt and do want some understanding of economics in their government) would be much more than half.

You even make generalizations about the fiscal conservatives themselves... they are all different.



I have always been fiscally conservative and all that means is that:

I want government to not go too great into debt.

I want ss, I want a national health care plan, I think that a sales tax on luxury items should go on top of the old progressive taxes.

I want industry to be regulated. The markets are not for corporations, they are for human beings.

I feel that the rich should pay progressive taxes as they did in the past. If the country needs more money then a tax on luxury goods and imports is great.

I feel scabs should be illegal.

I think Vomit should face a federal court and be slapped down on its ass.

I feel that only people who do not use cash and have utopia economic understanding think we can close our borders to trade (the only big growth (5%) going on in the world in the next 70 years will be CHINA/INDIA/BRAZIL/RUSSIA et all and you with trade with those countries that will soon be 10 times the economy of the present western nations combined, or you go into dark ages. What you recommend in terms of closing borders is suicide.
