Most Republicans favor lower taxes and less government spending on social programs. Republians believe in helping the weathly to became more richer. Taxes should be used too increase a gap between the wealthy and the poor in the United States. People tend to say that Republicans are greedy and they control money.

Democrats
Democratic Party is sometimes referred as the "Party of the People." They are referred to the "Party of the People" because they attract immigrants, blue-collar workers, woman, and minorities. The Democratic Party tends to take more liberal stands on important issues. They believe that the federal government should take a more active role in the lives of the people. They support the middle class and the poor. Democrats believe that all people should to able to purse their goals. No matter their religion, race, ethnic background and sexual orientation. They also believe that all Americans have the right to have an education. They believe that the environment must be protected. Taxes shouldn't be used too increase a gap between the wealthy and the poor in the United States. The government should protect the rights of workers. Democrats are generally for pro-choice, believe that wild animals should have animal rights just like humans and don’t believe in capital punishment.

I think am a Democrat because I believe in a lot of the things that they believe in. I believe that it great that somebody is helping the people. By supporting the people that are not wealthy but supporting the poor and the middle class. People should be able to get an education no matter how rich they are. I believe that the environment should be protected and the wild animals should have animal rights like humans. The workers should have rights. I believe in being pro-choice. But I have to disagree on certain things like the taxes we pay should be moderate. Some people get extra cash because the lied about something. When they have the money to survive through the week and some of us can’t. I don’t believe in capital punishment but I think some people should be treated differently depending on there case.
