Quote from marketsurfer:
demoncrats win for those who want govt to help them. demoncrats are the party for the poor huddled masses, the republicans believe the individual actually has the power to change his/her life.
This is a myth.And in reality republicans have been advocating corporate welfare in the last 30 years.Democrats beleive in capitalism and the power of the individual but sharing a piece of the pie for the sake of everyones betterment.IE:having mental hospitals open so you dont get stabbed by a deranged nut.
