Republicans want to start more wars and increase defense spending at the cost of benefits to the poor
Republicans want to undo the damage done by President Obama. They don't need a government-dependent underclass voting block for political survival. Liberals can't survive in a nation where people work for a living, because no one needs free stuff from the government. So, they won't vote for Democrats.
Republicans want to cut programs that benefit the poor
Republicans want to incentivize work. If a citizen can make more money sucking off of government than by working for a living, people won't work. The bigger the welfare state, the less taxpayers there are, which means tax receipts are lower, which necessitates tax increases to feed the welfare state, which compounds the problem.
Democrats want to weaken the economy and create government dependence, because it is necessary for government to gain absolute power over the people. Once that happens, there will be no more welfare state. It will be abject government oppression and mutual sharing of misery among the people.
The new tax plan benefits only the rich but leaves the middle class paying for everything.
The President's tax plan leaves plenty of room for negotiation. The corporate tax rate in the United States is not progressive. It is designed to slowly cripple the US economy, by causing corporations to relocate to other nations, leaving the USA a hollowed out shell.
But why would Democrats want that? Because they hate God. They hate the free market, because it leaves everything up to God. They hate the way God does things, because they have utter contempt for God and His commandments. They want to legally permit, and even subsidize, every godless act under the sun, because they hate natural law and the way God created the world.
Liberals desire a world in which government dictates right and wrong, and in which the definition of sin is dictated by the minimum legal requirement; a world in which statutory law and court findings dictate the truth. But, in every instance where there exists a conflict between statutory law and/or court findings, and Church doctrine; the Church is always correct, and the government is always wrong.
Truth is not subject to change. Regardless of what government policy states, truth remains fixed for all time. Regardless of what any individual or group believes, it does not alter truth. Justice is when each man knows the fruits of his labor are his own.
What really is the difference between a feudal state in which noblemen collect 60% of the produce from serfs who work the land, and a government that collects 60% tax (all taxes added together)? There's no difference! That's why we need to do away with the welfare state and institute tax legislation that incentivizes work.
And, if the rich are punished simply for being rich, people won't want to be rich. Without wealthy bankers, capitalists and industrialists, economic growth would grind to a halt. People are entitled to the money they earn, period.
