One Track Minds

Republicans have only one way to view problems; that's pro-big corporations, anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-union, anti-social programs to help average citizens. What's worse is that not only do they have only one way of viewing things they also believe its their way or the highway. Democrats are less wedded to one blueprint or plan; it seems at times they don't really stand for anything. It seems, to this writer at least, that democrats are more practical and are more willing to try different plans to attack our problems. Herbert Hoover, in 1930, was more stuck on that one way to doing things while Franklin Roosevelt believed he should try different approaches to the problems we faced. To FDR the problem would not solve itself, we had to do something, anything, just take action. Today, if the plan does not include a tax cut-most likely for the wealthy-or a cut in spending-for domestic program-or an attack upon the federal government republicans are not going to vote for it.
