Hey Alexandra, I can't verify the accuracy of any of these statements, but I guess this is a good attitude check?------

A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican
by Donna L. Lavins and Sheldon Cotler
Joe gets up at 6:00 AM to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot with
good, clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water
quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of
coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to
insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical
plan. Because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid
medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast --
bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal
fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo. His bottle is
properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount that is contains
because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his
body and the breakdown of its contents. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes
a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree-hugging
liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks
to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work; it saves
him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some
liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone
the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals
benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer meets
these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call
the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get
worker's compensation or an unemployment check because some liberal didn't
think he should loose his home to temporary misfortune.
It's noon time. Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills.
Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted
to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking
system before the depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market
federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the
government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over
his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm
home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is
among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety
standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to
live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers
didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some
big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded
rural electrification (those rural Republican's would still be sitting in
the dark).
Joe is happy to see his dad, who is now retired. Joe's dad lives on Social
Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take
care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad, Joe gets
back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show. The host
keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't
tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection
and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees, "We don't need those
big government liberals ruining our lives. After all, I'm a self-made man
who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
In the years to come, Joe's life will change dramatically. The U.S. dollar
will be devalued as a result of our huge deficit, our living standards
demolished, our standing with the world diminished and our social security
gone...all because some conservative republican made sure he could take care
of himself and his buddies.
Aghast, i remain...
