Heavy Lifting

Soapbox Light: As the Republicans run for cover on the health care reform bill I felt a little history lesson was in order. My friends any of the heavy lifting in this country is done by Democrats. Do not take my word for it check it out: (1) Social Security opposed by Republicans

(2) Meidcaid 1965 widely opposed by Republicans in the final vote only 13 voted for it. (3) Minimum wage always and constantly opposed by Republicans (4) Work place safety always in the opposition and minority view (5) Opposed child labor laws (6) Opposed organized labor throughout history (7) Opposed Equal Opportunity Act. I could go on but you get the point. Do not take my work for this go do some brief research and you will find that where a working person is concerned the heavy lifting has never been done by a Republican and it will not this time. Democrats will have to unite and ram this down there pie holes as they have had to do with any meaningful piece of legislation this County has every done.
