What Makes Someone Vote Republican

You are operating from a viewpoint that the role of our government is to take the labor of hardworking people to give it away to others.

All of your implied themes revolve around how much money you earn and what the government "does for you"

You are another one of those that uses that 1% number again. I view your type as envious and the type that makes the false error that if some are wealthy they must automatically be deemed "evil" and that they've "taken" money from others in order to get wealth.

The world has always had wealthy people and it has always had poor people. Here's the kicker. Money and wealth is not finite. There isn't a fixed amount of money in the world and then therefore if one person has a lot they've therefore "used up" all the money and there isn't any left over for others. The ability to create money and wealth is infinite. Apple computer making iphones and ipods and computers etc. and becoming a wealthy company didn't take anything away from me. They supplied products the consumers wanted.

Some basic safeguards in a society may be necessary but I believe the goal of any government assistance should be temporary and the goal should be to get the person out of their problem and self reliant. It isn't to just keep handing out money to them endlessly and to just supplement people's existence for decades.

The unstated vibe I get from your wording is that you believe the government's role is to just tax as much money as wanted from high earners and to just give away to others.

I don't really believe that is the role of government. I believe care and help for the poor and needy is best done most nobly done by the specific decision and will of the individuals by giving and getting involved in charities. I take it you are under the opinion that the vast sweeping redistribution of wealth is the role given to the U.S. government in the founding documents of this country (if you are American). You sound like you don't believe in the founding freedoms in this country in freedom and private property. I get the vibe you support the notion of they have a lot of money, tax most of it away from them (they are evil and they must have gotten it illicitly from everyone) and then give it away to everyone else.

I am assuming you are an American, I don't know if that is true but if so the USA is just about the most blessed place on the planet. It is replete with freedom, opportunities, prosperity, openness and opportunity. If you live in the USA and not many of the struggling countries on the Earth you are blessed. Even most of those considered "poor" in the USA have a roof, a place to stay, a TV, air conditioning and access to transportation. The country of overflowing with inexpensive food and places to buy food. If you don't get a job and buy enough food to live on the county even offers food stamps. I'm sure lots of those on the Earth that are in dire poverty would GLADLY trade places with those considered "POOR" in the USA.

I'm not really sure what you are implying with that notion of the country "not doing anything for you".

There are endless stories of those who have come to the USA from other countries with nothing when they get here who have taken advantages of the freedoms and blessings and opportunities in the country and become successful people here.

To your comment about the poor voting democrat. Pretty much all of the inner city slums are in majority democrat counties run by democrats and democrat mayors and they been that way for decades. Most of those areas never get any better. The notion that if the poor votes dem then the government will "fix" everything for them and "take care of them" has no proof of validity.

Strong military. Getting rid of Obamacare. Start work on keystone pipeline. More drilling. Not costing jobs because of a myth called man-made global warming. Keeping coal miners working. Last but not least. Keeping lying corrupt Hillary out of the white house.

Unless you support the same principle as the republicans despite your socio-economic status.

Brains, pure and simple.

Greed.
Hate.
or a delusional sense that the Republican party actually cares about anyone except the one-percenters.

Ignorance

Because basically I'm a Libertarian, except on foreign policy, but voting 3rd party is throwing my vote away, so I vote Republican because while I may be socially liberal, I'm fiscally very conservative and I want less, not more government intervention in my life.
