A Day in the Life of Joe Republican
Joe gets up at 6:00 am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good, clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and efficacy. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance. Now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo; his bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know the amount and identity of the substances he was putting on his body.
Let's see...
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974 was Republican and signed into law by Richard Nixon.
The first food and drug law was passed in 1906 and signed into law by Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican
Widespread use of medical insurance came about as a result of FDR's wage and price controls in WW 2 forcing employers to find "wages-in-kind" to entice a tight labor market to work for them. It was bad policy that created that situation.
The Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) of 1972 was another Republican / Nixon thing...
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor to society. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer upholds these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed hell get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some Liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
EPA? Nixon and Republicans
Public transportation, mainly a Progressive / Leftist thing is a poor quality, inefficient, and unprofitable system of transportation that few use unless they have no choice. I guess "Joe" was forced into it by other bad Leftist policies.... It takes Joe three times longer to get to work than if he drove, and when he gets there he sees an article in the paper about Democrats wanting to raise his taxes to offset the major losses public transit is suffering...
National Highway Safety Administration? 1970 Republicans and Nixon...
Better look up the history of unions. Almost nothing Joe enjoys was because of them. That's why he isn't in one today...
It's noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Um, that's the the FDIC created in 1932 by the Glass Steagall act in a bi-partisan vote by Congress. It isn't due to anything "liberal(s) wanted."
That Joe took out a student loan is on him. If he can't repay it, that too is on him. But because universities saw a cash cow in student loans Joe's education costs were double what they otherwise would have been as the university milked him for everything they could using the student loan system.
Joe is home from work, and he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to his dad's; his car is among the safest in the world be cause some wacko liberal (Ralph Nader!) fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmer's Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
NHSA-- Nixon and Republicans, remember?
Depends on where his dad's farm is as to whether it go put into that program... But since Progressive Leftists want to tax the snot out of inheritances, Joe isn't going to see anything out of it when his father passes. Instead the big government state will take the property and do whatever with the money, but nothing for Joe...
After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefi that Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees. "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives", he says. "After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".
This is because the Leftist writing the above has been fed a lifetime of bullshit and lies by other Leftists in the hopes that he'll believe that and bring about a Socialist-totalitarian state run by either Fascists or Communists...
