Nobody Likes Taxes
Yet the fact is as a member of the working class your taxes are not nearly the concern that it is for someone in the upper classes simply because they pay much,much more than you.
If the Republicans want to win the White Working Class Vote they must show that they are a party on the side of White People for whom life isn't easy – on the side of White People who, every month, are struggling to make ends meet...just as the democrats are on the side of minorities.
In a nutshell the White Working Class needs some real representation in Washington....something they have not had for decades.
To reach the blue collar Americans --Republicans must realise that the concerns of the traditional "middle-class Americans" aka The White Working Class are different from when Reagan reached this group of voters at the end of the 1970s.
Health care now takes a bigger bite than income taxes out of many paychecks. Wage stagnation is a bigger threat to blue-collar workers than inflation. Middle-income parents worry about the cost of college and the crime rate...... especially the ever increasing black on white crime rate and particuarly how thuggish wanna be gangsta black kids prey on white kids in the public schools where most White Working Class kids go to school because they cannot afford the private schools the upper classes send their kids to.
Now it is true as you suggest that the White Working Class tends to be fiscally conservative, wanting low rates of taxation and wanting government to live within its means. But that is not their over-riding concern and that is why the Tea Party Mantra of smaller government and lower taxes is not a election winning platform in and of itself...yet the Tea Partiers offer nothing else. The White Working Class is very patriotic and supportive of the military, but suspicious of foreign adventures.
Most importantly, they are modest in their aspirations for themselves. They do not aspire to be “type A business owners”; they want to go to work, do what’s asked of them, not have too much stress in their lives, and spend time with their families. They want structure and stability in their lives so that things are taken care of and they don’t have to worry.
seven habits of the White Working Class:
(1) Hope for the future
(2) Fear of the present
(3) Pride in their lives
(4) Anger at being disrespected
(5) Belief in public order
(6) Patriotism
(7) Fear of rapid change.

Roads are mentioned in the Constitution. "All that socialists stuff" ain't.
Actually they are more of a concern because every dollar counts more to someone who makes less of them.
Admit your fail so we can move forward...
The Republicans have a woman problem, as in women are being duped into believing Republicans hate their vaginas, and want to control them.
If we could take away the ability to hand out free stuff through redistribution, also know as Socialism, Democrats wouldn't win any election. That is a fact you can take to the bank, it's only through taking from working people, and giving to non working people, period, that is it
And people who are fed up with funding the lazy!
I woukd tweek that to say a single wimmins problem. Last election dsw.married ones swing back right.

You are entitled to your opinion but that is all you have and it is not enought.

The Mantra of "Smaller Government and Lower Taxes" does not appeal to younger voters.
A huge mistake being made by Tea Partiers is that the only message they have been able to get out is that they stand for 'Smaller Government and lower taxes' which essentially just makes them a special interest group.

“A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither” Thomas Jefferson"
A nice idea for those times.....Newsflash...times have changed and incredibly so. Now a ragtag gang of militant muslims have the capability to wipe out a entire city.
Obama said just a few days ago that his biggest worry was someone setting off a nuke in NYC.
Therefore...........any society that wants to survive in these times must place the utmost importance on security....it has its price for sure....but compare that with annihilation....duh
