Becoming President
Democrats vs. Republicans
Red vs. Blue, Donkey vs. Elephant, Conservative vs. Liberal. All meaning the same thing, republicans vs. democrats. Republicans and democrats are two major political parties in the United States and they tend to disagree on almost everything. Such as tax policies, social issues, labor and free trade, health care, social programs, foreign policy, energy issues and the environment, education, crime and capital punishment and individual liberties. So they literally disagree in every subject and on every level.
Democrats across the board believe that government should run such social programs as welfare, unemployment benefits, food stamps, and Medicaid that support people in need. They believe more tax dollars should be funneled into these programs. Republicans acknowledge a need for these social programs, but favor less funding and tighter control. Republicans favor supporting private organizations that support people in need.
Individual liberty has been a sore subject of late. Political correctness is on the rise and many people believe that people need to be protected against themselves. Democrats have tended toward favoring legislation that restricts some freedoms, including foods we may have access to. Republicans favor personal responsibility, in that individuals should be able to choose for them what they do and what they do not do if it doesn’t break existing laws.
Both parties favor tax cuts, but each party takes a different view on where those tax cuts should be applied. The Democrats believe there should only be cuts for middle and low income families, but believe they should be higher on corporations and wealthy individuals. The Republicans believe there should be tax cuts for everyone, both corporations and people of all income levels.
