If by "better", you mean "legislating away their votes, or causing them to count 3/5ths of their own", you'd be right.
What you're euphemistically labeling "school choice" is no more than funneling tax dollars to chuch-sponsored schools, so um yeah...if the Catholic Church (just as an example) wants to say their schools don't have to treat their employees like the rest of Americans, then no, they can't have any of my tax dollars.
What you call "indenturing people" is flat out incorrect. White flight to the suburbs, shipping manufacturing jobs to India and China, shutting down factories because you don't like the existence of a union, now those are good ways to keep a brother down. Don't see much of that happening via Democrats.
It speaks volumes that the most Republican states in the nation are far more reliant on government handouts than they are contributors.
