REBUTTAL: Wrong on all fronts

I read Darakjy’s drivel on how disastrous Democrats are when we Republicans are about to get our ?White House nominee’s ?head handed to us on a silver platter thanks to a year’s worth of Cruz or Trump attacks on each other that has become a worldwide embarrassment. Foreign nations are actually debating whether to allow either ?of our leading candidates ?entry into their country.

Does Darakjy realize that Republicans choosing a nominee has become? too much? like ?allowing ?dogs choosing what goes into their ?own ?dog chow? The ?broad appeal to the 72 percent non-Republican ?rest of the nation ?is repulsed? by Republicans.

Repulsed? by ?the ?decades of corporate welfare?, defending $10,000 an hour CEO pay? ?that completely avoids FICA and Medicare tax?es? for any capital gains windfall ?bonus ?and even have the privilege of deferring income taxes on reco?rd profits? decades into the future and actually draw interest on ?their ?deferred taxes.

?But the big?gest? question? for Darakjy and Republican family values? is why so few ?Americans ?marry at all? In 2016 there will only be 6.7 weddings per 1,000 people, compared to 16.4 in 1946 and 10.8 in 1984. An all time low.

This falls right in line with the exploding numbers of single Medicaid moms. Single motherhood went from less than 5 percent in 1960 to more than half now. Stagnant wages are no doubt a contributing factor. Otherwise they probably wouldn’t qualify for TANF, Food Stamps, WIC and section 8 housing… along with Medicaid.

Yet Darakjy wonders why two of every three of the exploding numbers of single women vote Democratic? Our wage suppressing cheapskate chickens have come home to roost. And vote. Hope you enjoy president HRC.
