What Are The Republican Party's Stated Core Values VS Reality

The Republican Party Stated Core Values Are:

1. Smaller government
2. Lower taxes
3. Greater personal responsibility
4. Elimination of abortion
5. Elimination of wealth transfers
6. Family Values
7. High moral and ethical standards
8. Government does not pick winners and losers
9. Military preparedness

Sadly, in practice, the behavior, legislation, regulation, and policies the Republican Party proposes or supports, or both, indicate its actual core values are in every case diametrically opposite to its stated core values. In practice its core values are…

1. To create ever bigger, more expensive, and more invasive government that will protect the entities that most utilize Public Resources from Public Oversight AND heavily regulate the Private Personal lives and behaviors of the American People, despite the fact that they utilize little or no Public Resources
2. To lower taxes for the rich and the corporations that the rich own and control while increasing taxes on the wages of working productive Americans
3. To demand or require NO personal responsibility from Republican candidates, “conservative” office holders, and partisans (including white supremacists, neo-fascists, and right-wing anarchists (who all too often are also child molesters and sexual predators)), while insisting that all others (particularly people with brown skins) must accept responsibility and be punished for the most trivial of infractions.
4. To give frequent loud lip service to eliminating abortion, but actually do almost nothing to achieve that goal. Most especially, to refuse to implement or even support, the ONE and only thing that has ever actually reduced the number of abortions in a society… widely available effective birth control. ALL the evidence of hundreds of years shows that the only way to reduce the number of abortions is to make effective birth control universally available at little or no cost.
5. To increase the size and frequency of wealth transfers TO the wealthy FROM our nation’s actual wealth and job creators (the People who labor for their livings), which is odd really because the very wealthy, having inherited their wealthy, frequently do little or no actual productive work in the US Economy.
6. To support, propose, and vote for legislation and government regulation the purpose of which is to rip families apart, deny healthcare to children and the elderly, bankrupt hardworking American families, and generally do all that can be done to weaken the family institution.
7. To continuously lie to and mislead the American People by, for example, continually telling them that Social Security, which has not added ONE PENNY to the National Debt since about 1940, is some sort of taxpayer subsidy when it and virtually all other so-called “entitlements” are in fact PURCHASED BENEFITS paid for entirely by those who will eventually receive the benefits at NO cost to the Treasury or the general taxpayer.
8. To continually enact policies and programs the very purpose of which is to assure the the very very rich always “win” at the expense of America’s hardest working people. In other words “To Pick winners and losers.”
9. To continually and intentionally conflate “military preparedness” with maintaining astronomical and preposterously high levels of military spending (which in 2015 consumed 57% of the entire US Federal Government’s Discretionary Spending and in 2018–19 totals $701 BILLION). Over time, wasting at least scores of trillions of taxpayer dollars and by so doing generating essentially ALL of the US National Debt.
   
   Consider just one of the thousands of preposterously wasteful “defense” projects currently underway - the F-35 fighter on which $1.5 TRILLION has been spent and which, according to published sources, has yet to have had even a single successful test flight.
   
   About a year ago it was discovered that the defense contractor, Lockheed-Martin had “neglected” to program the on-board flight control computers to actually FIRE the fighter’s on-board 50mm cannon. L-M assured Congress and the Pentagon that it would have the problem fixed in 2 years at an additional cost of $2 billion.
   
   THIS sort of absurd waste of taxpayer money is the result, in fact the primary result, of knee-jerk support of any bill labeled “military spending.”
