What are the philosophies, generally speaking, of the Democratic and Republican Parties today?
What will be an ideal response?
According to the text, the Democratic Party holds that government policy should actively promote the welfare of the middle class and poor, largely through extending the enlarged role of the state that defined the New Deal. Today’s Republicans, in contrast, want to greatly reduce the role of government in the market and let individual initiative and the workings of unfettered capitalism settle questions of resource allocation while giving the state a stronger role legislating conformance with “traditional family values.” The result is a country that has consensus on the fundamentals of government structure but with parties that are sharply divided over the role of government in the economy and our lives.
