The identifying labels given to our two political parties have never sat right with me. They really don’t tell the full story effectively, and perhaps we’d better know what we’re getting with each if their “handles” indicated what they actually stood for.
After all, both parties are “liberal” in the sense that the Dems are more generous with programs to help the common folk, while the Reps are freely and givingly in support of the corporations. And they’re both conservative in the way the Dems try to rein in corporate greed and how it effects the economy, while the Reps work at cutting spending on projects that help the common people.
So why not label the Democrats, “Commons,” and the Republicans, “Corporates”? Wouldn’t those monikers better give us an idea of what they stand for?
Just sayin’
