He's done tax cuts for the rich, done nothing for healthcare, and continues to give money to saudi arabia. And again, Hillary Clinton won with voters making under $50k/year. By a significant margin too. I said rhetoric. Not action, rhetoric. No doubt Hillary won with voters making under 50k, but she probably won that group (adjusted by inflation) by less than any Democrat since FDR made it the core of the Democratic base, with the possible exception of Reagan's 1984 landslide or Nixon's 1972 landslide. Also, if people believe in trickle down, then tax cuts for the rich are good policy for helping low-income workers. The tax cuts for low-income workers were also very substantial (dwarfed by tax cuts for the rich only because the rich pay so much more in taxes that the same percentage cut yields far more in absolute terms). Healthcare reform partially failed, but 1) the Republicans tried and 2) they did manage to get rid of the individual mandate, which saves low-income workers without employer healthcare about $2,000 a year if they decide not to buy insurance. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:922567087] in Politics C...
