You can thank the Dems for Social Security, labor unions, legal requirements that non-union shops pay a decent wage on Federal projects, the minimum wage, overtime, workmen's comp, Medicare, Medicaid, voting rights for all Americans, the right of allAmericans to enjoy public accomodations, defeating the real Axis of evil back in the 40s, preventing the Red Chinese from overrunning the Korean peninsula, backing down the USSR during the Cuban missile crisis, overtime, the weekend etcetera. For the last hundred years they have been the party that cares more about the people that does the GOP.
