bush plans republican dominance
Check out this creepy L.A. Times article (link). It explains how pretty much all of Bush's current plans will, aside from their supposed benefits, cut off funding to the Democrats and are hoped to create a new generation of young Republican voters. Some examples:
- GOP strategists hope Social Security reform would foster a new "investment class" that would vote Republican.
- Tort reform (an effort to "limit jury awards in lawsuits against doctors and businesses") would deprive trial lawyers of some of their funding. Trial lawyers are the "financial muscle" behind the Democratic party.
- Free trade undermines trade unions, who are also big Democrat supporters.
