Republicans usually come from more affluent family backgrounds than Democrats. Education in the US costs a lot of money and people raised in a wealthy affluent family can afford to send their kids to college. Democrats have to rely upon college scholarships or work hard at High school to get into college. Thank god for the access to student loans but they must be paid back at a later date. Without an adequate education, employment prospects are limited.
The jury is still out on whether or not the Bush tax cuts created jobs or simply increased the Budget deficit and added to the national debt. Both sides of politics: Republicans and Democrats engage in class struggle arguments to justify their political positions: basic assumptions or political rhetoric aimed at the common voting American.
Minority groups generally support Democrats. 52% White conservative Americans support Republicans. 53% of white males support Republicans. 48% white females support Republicans.
Republicans oppose gay marriage, support the death penalty, support increase in military spending and oppose increased public spending on education and social services. Increased military spending comes at a cost to adequately funding education and social services. Democrats support gay marriage, oppose the death penalty, oppose increase in military spending and support increased public spending on education and social services.
