Default Re: The real difference in the 2 party\'s economic policy

1. I have my opinions but its open for debate, so I definately think one party is better than the other for the average person.

2. Dems: big centralized government, higher taxes (generally for the higher classes), pro abortion, pro gay marriage
Republicans: Smaller central govt/more states rights, lower taxes, anti-abortion and anti gay marriage.

3. Most economists are Republican so take that for what its worth.

4. I think you can know what policy is better you just have to look at many different factors and not just one.

5. I personally think economics is a bigger issue for myself, but it's really personal preference. However if your part of a minority of the population on certain social issues (gays, women for abortion) that are really in the middle of all the social issues then social issues are probably a bigger concern for you.
