Well lets see, the first draft of the GI Bill was written by Harry W. Colmery, a Republican. Another Republican, Warren Atherton, was known as one of the "fathers of the G.I. Bill". Another co-author and co-sponsor was Edith Nourse Rogers, another Republican.
I have no idea how you can claim that the Democrats created NATO, but okay. Furthermore, even if they did, I'm not certain how you could claim that it was done for the "working class".
The Marshall Plan was, "for rebuilding and creating a stronger economic foundation for the countries of Western Europe, and repelling the threat of internal communism after World War II." That has nothing to do with the working class of this country.
Okay, the Peace Corp was introduced by a Democrat, but I'm not entirely certain how it helped the working class other than allowing them to go serve places in other countries.
The 40 hour work week is great, too bad it wasn't passed with the intention of actually helping the average American citizen. Go read NSC-68 and consider yourself enlightened.
Minimum wage law was in fact proposed by the Democrats, as was overtime.
The Social Security Act... oh wait, you mean the giant unconstitutional entitlement program/ponzi scheme? Yes, that's a crowning achievement of the Democratic party. Another unintended consequence was that it allowed the Clinton administration to steal money from the program in order to claim a budget surplus during the late 90s. A bogus surplus that Obama even referred to during his SOTU address.
Unemployment Compensation was passed as a result of the Social Security Act, so chalk another one up to the Democrats.
The Rural Electrification Act was co-sponsored/authored by a Republican, George W. Norris.
The FDIC, while it sounds good in theory, is just another arm of the Federal Reserve, a wholly unconstitutional institution that carries far too much power.
Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.... well we all saw how well those worked once a Democratic president pushed them to offer loans to people who were in no way qualified financially for.
I'm guessing you're referring to the Securities Act of 1933, which was in fact written by and signed into law by Democrats.
Yes, the Higher Education Act of 1965 was part of LBJ's Great Society.
The National School Lunch Act was written by and signed into law by Democrats.
The Head Start program was part of the Great Society as well.
Medicare... yay, another unconstitutional entitlement program/ponzi scheme. Medicaid is actually constitutional, because it delegates the power to the states for their health care programs.
yep, FMLA was written by and signed into law by Democrats.
I didn't find anywhere that supported the Nineteenth Amendment as being something that the Democrats passed, other than the fact that Wilson was the president at the time.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was sent to congress by Kennedy, but the basis for that legislation was the Civil Rights act of 1875, which was written by and signed into law originally by Republicans before it was deemed unconstitutional.
The Voting Rights Act was written by and signed into law by Democrats. As was the Motor Voter Act.
