I can understand that, if one is annoyed at the Democratic Party, and they would want to vote for an alternative.  Maybe they would feel that they have to pick the other party.  But, leaving this out, which is understandable, why would someone struggling economically even remotely consider voting for the Republican party?

Words I have seen from the GOP is they want to cut benefits to those on the lower end, cause those who aren't paying taxes now pay taxes (and also raise taxes on the lower end), and speaks of the answer being lower taxes for the wealthy.  In the end, the theory is that the successful will end up investing more, and this will somehow result in positive impact on the bottom.  Outside of the belief that somehow, the economy gets better by doing this, and a byproduct is that people who are struggling economically will do better, why else would any American believe GOP has any answers specifically for them?
