Compare And Contrast Democratic Party Vs Republican Party
Today is Friday, January 20, 2017. It seems to be a normal Friday but guesses what important event will happen which can change the whole strong United States country and even the whole world? Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States as the result of his victory in The Electoral College presidential vote over Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Donald Trump is running for Republican and Hillary Clinton is supporting the Democratic party. Let me remind you, we are living in the United State, a nation famous for its strong foundation principles, where Democratic and Republican are the two main parties of the country. Well, most of the people already know this, but the question is, how many of them really know …show more content…
While the Democrat seem to be progressive on social issues,the Republican party is conservative or very much influenced by religion and tradition on human ideas. Abortion for example, “Unborn children have a fundamental right to live which can not be taken away from them” was the Republican party’s viewpoint. In the other hand, the Democrat supported abortion by saying: “A women should have the right to make her own decision about her pregnancy, not the state or federal government.” Instead of forbidding abortion, Democratic party chose to give out more sex education to reduce unwanted pregnancy which also helps to cut down abortion. Another example is same-sex marriage. Following the development of the world, little by little, people are accepting same-sex love as well as same-sex marriage. So does the Democrats, they will day by day improve the laws to benefit for needs of society. Unlike the Democrat, Republican party keeps its traditional …show more content…
First, the rate of taxes for everyone will be the same (flat tax) does not matter he is wealthy or not, which is opposite to the Democrat, who will charge high-income earners a higher rate than the low-income ones. The reason for this difference is because Republican party beliefs with flat taxes, people will think they are being treated equally, but in the Democrat’s way, the government will have more money from taxes. Most of us already know Donald Trump is going to build a border wall to stop illegal immigrants from Mexico which proved Republican party has an extremely consistent way to deal with undocumented immigrants. How about the Democrat? The Democratic party supports for illegal immigrants, by giving United States citizenship to the one without a criminal record, who had lived, worked, and pay taxes for more than five years. If you are asking yourself why the Democrat and Republic are so different in their points of view, I will tell you the answer. When illegal immigrants came to the U.S., most of them are very poor, and when they have children, those children will become citizens, but their parents are too poor to pay for their education, food, etc… Then who will pay? The government, or to be more precise, the tax from other citizens will. Is it fair for you to work hard and pay taxes for the government, but all the money is being paid for illegal immigrants’ children? No right?

    Political parties specifically the Democratic Party and the Republican Party (or the Grand Old Party) play huge roles in the government as it determines based upon the victor of the presidential election how the government will be ran. On one hand the Democrats power base was of "organized labor, urban voters and immigrants. During the 1950s and 1960s they took on "big government positions" where they sided with federal intervention in regulating business and also associated itself as an advocate for civil rights movements. However, Republicans advocated for the white-collar middle-class, and pro-business which was seen as "middle America". This party was very against the Vietnam War, and during this time were very opposed to civil rights legislation. So depending on each parties ideologies, whether it may be due to geographical factors, religion or other social issues base how their point of action on certain situations would…

    It's no secret that the Republican party is now more well-known for their fear mongering and obstructionist tactics than legislating or having any real interest in governing. As many of you may remember, Republicans came under heavy criticism last year for trying to derail the Iran Nuclear Deal through a combination of dangerous propaganda. They attempted to poison public opinion and recklessly interfered with the negotiation process which could have had disastrous consequences. In an underhanded, some have even suggested treasonous move, 47 Republicans lead by Senator Tom Cotton and signed by GOP Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Rand Paul had sent an open letter to Iran…

    As our country grows and progresses into the future, so do our ethics. With each generation we tend to generally shift with our new definitions of what is right and what is wrong. Overtime, these shifts tend to break apart and either redefine or create new political parties. The current youthful generation could more than likely see such changes within their lifetimes, just as we’ve recently seen division in the Republican Party with the creation of the Tea Party Movement. With an ever changing demographic in our country and a general movement towards social reform from the now growing youth, combined with the dying out of aged conservatives, the future majority representative political parties could become…

    The Democrat and Republican parties of the late 1800’s had a parallel belief that it was giving a voice to its constituents. The Republicans and Democrats fought over political corruption, civil rights, reconstruction, immigration, and States’ rights. Republicans appealed to the Union, Border States, and African Americans. The South had to be rebuilt, but giving power to the Southern whites was not an option at any time. Lincoln’s 10% Reconstruction plan would swiftly allow seceded states back into the Union, but Congress did not agree with this plan and in response they came up with the Wade-Davis Bill. The passing of this bill revealed some conflicts between Congress and…
