THIS SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER – ACTUALLY IT IS A “KNOW” BRAINER!
Why do some U.S. citizens, particularly those in the middle
class, continue to vote against what has been proven, time and again, to be against
their own best interest? It is usually do to a very successful campaign of fear
by the Republican Party, and their super PACs, dark money, lobbyists, and PACs.
1. Under Democrats, the economy grew, on average,
4.35 percent per year; under Republicans, only 2.54 percent.
2.
Over the whole period, the economy was in
recession for 49 quarters; Democrats held the White House during only eight of
those quarters.
3.
Private-sector employment is eight million people higher than it was when Barack Obama took
office, twice the job gains achieved under his predecessor.
4.
Every candidate with a real chance of getting
the G.O.P. nomination is claiming that his tax plan would produce a huge growth
surge — a claim that has no basis in historical experience.
5.
Historically, the economy has almost always
done better under Democrats, compared to the G.O.P.
8.
Corporate profits have grown over 16% more
per year under Democratic presidents (they actually declined under Republicans by an average of
4.53%/year)
9.
Average annual compound return on the stock market has been 18 times greater under Democratic presidents (If
you invested $100k for 40 years of Republican administrations you had $126k at
the end, if you invested $100k for 40 years of Democrat administrations you had
$3.9M at the end)
10.
Republican presidents added 2.5 times more to
the national debt than Democratic presidents
11.
The two times the economy steered into the ditch (Great Depression
and Great Recession) were
during Republican, laissez faire administrations
