If Thomas Jefferson and the founding fathers were liberal democrats why didn't they give us?

Question

a progressive income tax? Social security? Medicare? WIC? The death tax? Universal health care? Public, government funded schools?

Time for you "smart" democrats to answer!

Answer 2

Because there was no need.  Then.

Now, that is not the case.  Look at the facts.  Look at the numbers of dead American children.

Despite spending more money on healthcare, PER PERSON, than any other nation on the planet, the USA has one of the highest death rates for kids aged under five in the western world.

How is it right that dead American kids would have had a better chance of life if they had been born in Canada, or a Western European country with universal healthcare?

Answer 3

And while we are at it why didn't end slavery, build railroad, come up with a speed limit, and go to the moon?  Dumb questions get dumb answers.

Answer 4

It WAS mighty progressive. The poor did not pay one dime!

Any "smart" Republicans actually know the history of "income" tax? I do and I'll bet most Dems do also but I'll give you guys a chance!

Challenge!
