The Republican Party's platform is overall superior to that of the Democratic Party

To start I will give a quick summary of the GOP's platform: -Simplify the tax system through a 20% across the board tax cut, an elimination of taxes on interest and dividend for the middle class, and an end to the death tax. Along with this the GOP supports a reduction of our corporate gains tax rate. -The GOP supports a balanced budget amendment to prevent out of control spending -They support the repeal of Obamacare -They want to make the people more self reliant, and less reliant on government benefits -They want to revive the housing market by encouraging investments from the free enterprise -They also purpose a public and private sector team-up to help rebuild our infrastructure -They are against judges using their position to further their political ideals -They promise to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights -They support the use of our own natural resources to gain energy independence -They promise to end the fight against the coal industry and rollback some of the regulations that prevent off-shore drilling, along with supporting the Keystone XL pipeline -The GOP supports hydrofracking -they support conservations and national parks -They want to reduce the EPA's power and excessive regulations -They support Medicare and Medicaid reform -They support the reform of the entitlement and welfare system in order to make Americans self sufficient -They support traditional marriage This is a platform that allows America to return to the success of it's younger days, and most importantly revitalize the economy. How? Well that is a simple question to answer, first we will start with the tax cuts. Tax cuts, especially the 20% across the board tax cuts proposed by the republicans 2012 platform, are the ultimate in economic stimulus. It allows everyone to keep a significantly larger part of their weekly paycheck, and when people have more money what they do with it is spend. The increase in revenue for will allow people to buy more consumer goods thus propelling profits and the economy forward. Corporations and small businesses alike will be making more money, and when these businesses have a larger profit they are more likely to put that money towards expansion, and with expansion means more job openings, which creates room for more and more of the unemployed to become employed. Democrats will argue that tax cuts for all people put a burden on the middle class, but this can't be true when these tax cuts help the middle class just as much if not more than the rich. These accusations that an across the board tax cut hurts the middle class are nothing more than class warfare. The Republican Party also is in favor of rolling back regulations and welfare programs two things the Democratic party is in favor of expanding. Democrats argue the government must fund clean energy, and the best way to do this in there minds is... You guessed it! Regulations and overspending. While needlessly fighting and trying to destroy our fracking and coal industries the government has put massive funds into wind and other alternative sources which have been nearly completely ineffective. Republicans propose deregulation to free up the market and to allow us to use coal plants and hydrofracking to boost our energy independence and economy. Along with this Republicans support the Keystone XL pipeline which would be a major boost to our economy. The Republican Party also supports our constitution, they support our economy, and they support the people. Unlike the democrats they want to rollback government benefits so people can WANT to get back in the job market, and see that freedom is better than being reliant on the government for your next meal or paycheck. They want to create and environment where it is possible for all people to succeed and be independent from big government. www.gop.com/2012-republican-platform_home www.democrats.org/democratic-national-platform
