Both parties were content to let the status quo stand till the 1960's
Well, maybe...
if you don't count that whole
Republican elimination of slavery thing.
How much did the Republicans do to stop poll taxes etc after the Civil War? I've read that many rights for blacks were only on paper, not de facto, until the Civil Rights Movement.
Just asking.
Republicans talk a good game when it comes to low taxes
"Read my lips, no more taxes"
but it's all bull shit.
