That and the economic policy. I don't want to give up my income for the sake of corporate profits.

In the UK the Conservative party used to be the party of small business. A lot of working class trades people became very rich under Thatcher. That focus has disappeared over the last decade or so though.

Fair enough. It's not like I don't appreciate the right wing perspective, which in recent years has been slightly preferable to the left imho. These days all we have are neoliberals, and it is actually not possible to be a conservative and support capitalism. Capitalism is a constant revolution that breaks all boundaries except the one between the owner and the worker.

Then why do you support the Democrat party over the Republican party? Have you not been paying attention for the last 40 or so years as the Democrat party sold out all the good paying jobs to slave labor in western Taiwan(sometimes referred to as china)?
