Republicans aren't the handout party, they believe you should work for your pay.  Most small business owners are Republicans, that should tell you everything you need to know.  Our Government does not create "jobs", it's the people who endure great financial risk in hopes for a substantial reward who are the job creators.  You ask what does the Republican party does for the middle class?  Simple, they eliminate the democratic idiocy and red tape that hamper job creation and dissuades entrepreneurship.   Democrats believe that government is the end all solution to our financial and job dilema issues.  What they fail to understand is, government is the reason for our financial and job dilema issues.  I'm convinced liberalism is a mental disorder.   Mikey and Jimmy represent them well.

Also, Republicans ended slavery, which prompted the democrats to create the kkk.

The best response I can provide would be to provide some URL's or links to other pages that will address what you are asking as well as some other links that might be interesting:

REPUBLICANS

https://www.quora.com/What-was...-in-the-last-decade#

https://www.reddit.com/r/Polit...ublican_legislative/

https://townhall.com/columnist...lican-party-n1520352

But also there is some info on Democrats which I believe should be cited.

DEMOCRATS

https://townhall.com/columnist...ocrat-party-n1518613

 

Maybe from these links some information can be gleaned.  Often though you cannot attribute legislation to one specific party because both parties share credit and blame because of the need for support from other politicians. 

why do republicons always go back to segregation and civil rights..

 since you brought up segregation.. did you know the SCOTUS just ruled that republicon gerrymandering by race isn't legal? imagine that.. the party of 'civil rights' just got told they couldn't draw voting districts up by racial segregation. isn't that a special kind of hypocrisy. you just claimed 'jim crow laws are democrat policy' and the republicons just got caught with their own form of voter jim crow laws...

*i freely admit that democrat policy of that time was segregation and very much anti-civil rights... however, it would take a blind squirrel to claim the republicons of today are the defenders of civil rights or minorities.

why do republicons always go back to segregation and civil rights.. the very laws that caused the switch in conservative democrats and liberal republicans... civil rights laws caused the parties to basically switch polarities and every human on the planet knows it... except the republicons , when they try to make a point in a discussion. in the last 30 years, name one republicon policy that helped a minority.. hell, since the civil rights of the 60's , name one republicon policy that didn't hurt minorities?

I don't know any minorities that don't have a better life than you.

Republican signed the civil rights into law.

i rest my case. thanks for proving my point.

And I guess you haven't heard of the 13th Amendment; but I guess that 19th Century Republicans are still mean spirited and stoopid because they didn't include welfare checks in exchange for votes in that amendment. To you dems, highly melanated peoples are perfect for exploitation in exchange for patronizing welfare but silly repooblicans think they can climb up the economic ladder with hard work and using their minds.

In my opinion, and it's not worth that much, whatever the Democrats did in the past for the Middle Class, everything was eliminated and offset with their passage of Democratic Healthcare Bill (aka Obamacare).  That fiasco was entirely the Democrats making and doing and has created the situation we find ourselves in today.  Cases where often only one Insurance company exist to provide insurance and at enormous rates with intolerable deductibles no one can stand.

Before the Democrats got involved I paid around $130 a month for family coverage which had a $400.00 family deductible after which Insurance paid 80% of most charges.  AFTER Democrats implemented their disaster my family policy went up to $240.00 a moth for coverage but worse, the deductible, rose to an unbelievable $8,000.00 before insurance paid their 80%.

Lets assume my family had $10,000.00 in medical bills which has happened several times and actually more but for this example say $10,000.00 in bills.  Many, a great many families, had far more than $10,000 in expenses so the cost to the family only increased that much more.

BEFORE DEMOCRATS messed with it

$400.00 out of my families pocket before insurance took over$9600.00 charged of which insurance paid 80% so we paid 20% of $9600 or  $1920 out of our pocket so my PRE-Democrat medical cost was $1920 + $400 or a total of $2320.00 in medical expenses plus add to that my cost for the insurance was $130 a month or $1560 a year so total medical expenses for the pre-democratic healthcare was $3880.00 for the year

AFTER DEMOCRATS messed with it

$10,000 in charges ... $8,000.00  out of my families pocket before insurance covered anything.  Insurance paid 80% toward the remaining $2000.00 expenses which meant I paid 20% of the $2000 remaining or $400.00.  So total after Democrat medical cost for treatment was $8400.00.   My cost for medical health insurance also was now $240 a month or  $2880.00 a year.  Total (Thanks to Democrats) family  healthcare cost $ 11,280.00 or an INCREASE of $7,400.00 thanks ENTIRELY to Democrats.

Now from my particular point of view it seemed I, and my family, went from having health insurance to not being covered as our medical cost, direct out of our pocket cost, INCREASED $7,400.00 over what it was BEFORE  the Democrats helped me out.  One other thing I noticed after the Democrats got involved was that two of my personal Doctors left the medicine field and retired solely because of "Obamacare".  I had ask them why they were retiring and that was the reason they gave.

Now you may be trying to say Democrats helped the little guy or the worker or family man but for my Family the Democrats COST ME a lot more than Republicans ever did.  Those figures and cost I can prove and verify because it happened to me, my family, and it happened BECAUSE of Democrats getting involved with healthcare and insurance, not because of Republicans. 

So tell me Crash ... just how am I better off because of what Democrats did?  I guess if I wanted a sex change operation or abortion then it would now be a medical insurance covered event but I don't consider that doing ME or my family any favors.  Democrats said Healthcare meddling was necessary because a few wasn't covered by insurance and they should have been but what the Democrats EFFECTIVLY did was to make it as if multitudes more (many more millions) essentially didn't have health insurance protection against medical cost that they would incur.  The extremely high deductibles that these (more expensive) insurance policies now carried meant that essentially it was like a family NOT having insurance anymore.

You ask what Republicans have done for the middle class I'm asking how this Democratic invention and meddling helped out the middle class and families like mine?  I await your reply!
