I see it like this:
Democrats have aging hippie ideals. That more programs can take care of more people. Helping the most needy is important work of the Government. But it must be paid for by high taxes.
Republicans want the Wealthy to have more freedom, while controlling more and more of everyday lives of the rest. It has becoming harder to move up in class under Republican rule.

If anybody solutions, "Republicans are more advantageous acceptable. Democrats are more advantageous acceptable..." etc., do not pay interest to that. Republicans and Democrats are in reality distinct because of their political critiques. Democratic party - between both important political events interior america; the Democrats. The origins of the Democrats are interior the Democratic-Republican party, prepared by making use of Thomas Jefferson interior the late eighteenth century; the first president elected merely as a Democrat changed into Andrew Jackson. continually solid interior the South, the party changed into seriously damaged by making use of secession, the Civil conflict, and Reconstruction, and did not produce a triumphing presidential candidate between 1861 and 1885, at the same time as Grover Cleveland changed into elected. interior the late 19th and early twentieth centuries, compared to the Republicans, the Democrats tended to be the party of the South and West, hostile to the pastimes of company and the Northeast. Woodrow Wilson, the subsequent Democratic president, changed into portion of the modern move. interior the era of the recent Deal, interior the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic party reached huge power between exertions union individuals, minority communities, and center-earnings human beings.

The northern Republicans, as an instance, supported carpetbaggers in southern governments. After Reconstruction, the Republicans well-known a severe shielding tariff and were oftentimes considered the defenders of northeastern and company pastimes. The party supported the Spanish-American conflict and the boom of united states territory foreign places. some Republicans were portion of the modern move of the early twentieth century. interior the Nineteen Twenties, the party reestablished its attractiveness for assisting company and as being careful of any boom of the position of authorities in nationwide existence.

I think you have it about right. And what's sad about the hard-core conservatives, is that they weren't always that way. They used to believe that government should have no control over people choices, their lives. Pretty shocking, huh? Yes, liberals do have a tendency towards helping the poor. I haven't the slightest problem with that, especially if they truly need it. I just don't think that the tax-payers should have to shoulder that heavy load-all by ourselves. But alas.......Seems like the back-breaking working class must shoulder the load for everyone. The under-privileged and over-privileged alike.
I just had to ask-what's wrong with hippie ideals, Mo? Hey, at least in the 60's, people in their 20's were active and interested in the issues and took a stand. I respect that.

The main difference between Democrats & Republicans is the spelling of their party names, and the size & shape of their mascots. It is true that Dem's do have a slightly higher regard for the poor and environmental causes, but the Rep's are more pragmatic & better strategists. If I seem to be damning them with faint praise, then I have accomplished my aim.
Wouldn't it be a real kick in the pants if we all got together & voted for any parties EXCEPT these two? Think they might get the message? Probably not. Nice dream, though.
