Voting
in your own best economic interests...
There
are many reasons to register and vote... One that will be covered in
this post is voting for your own best economic interests.
In
their book, Bulls, Bears and the Ballot Box, Bob Deitrick and
Lew Goldfarb seek economic data, from 1929 to 2009, to demonstrate
the long held idea that, “Many of us intuitively believe that
Republican presidents bring shrewdness and a sense of business acumen
to the White House.”
“Surprisingly,
the facts do not support this hyperbole. In fact, the Republican
economic dominance is a myth, yet it is widely believed.”
The book takes economic data from 40 years of Democratic and 40 years of Republican administrations and demonstrates consistently better economic results during the Democratic years.
Many
conservative, Republican reviewers and political pundits tried
desperately hard to disprove the facts presented, and accredited, in
this book. They failed.
If
you only read the preface, chapters 14 and 15, you'll get, what I
believe is, the basic, essential information.
There
are many reasons to vote... If you're going to vote for the best
economic advantage of your family, and yourself, you're voting for
Democrats!
