Compare And Contrast Democrats And Republicans

The terms liberal and conservative more widely apply to the Democratic Party, which generally upholds liberal principles and the Republican Party, which generally upholds conservative principles.

The website, whitehouse.gov it states that, “Only 39 percent report being able to take some type of paid family leave for the birth of a child.” Not all the workers were offered paid leave or any of the benefits it provides. Workers should be allowed to take time off to care for their child as they require extensive attention and care. The parents should be granted family rights along with individual rights.  The website also mentions how not only businesses but families will benefit as their economy overall would benefit since making full use of American talent requires policies that let workers better balance their family lives. Aside from work benefits parents will save money on baby essentials such as clothing, diapers, and formula as the expenses will be covered by their employer. Babies are healthier when their parents can afford them and cover all of their baby’s expenses. Along with raising a healthy child, maternal leave also impacts the mother’s health as they get to bond with their child without worrying about any job-related

Social Issues include topics like gay rights, abortion, social services, and women’s rights. The topic abortion is really a touchy subject but the Democrats believe that abortion is a woman’s right and they should have the choice to do so if they want but the Republicans strongly disagree and think that it should be illegal even if the child is a product of a rape victim or incest. (“Democrats Unveil”) They disagree because people have different thoughts and morals they follow and to certain people that’s almost just as bad as murder and they can’t afford a bad image to lose votes even if it makes certain people happy. Gay marriage is another important issue. The Democrats support gay rights because they believe that everyone should have equal rights including

Democrats express that the values America supports must evolve over time, and therefore tend to support controversial issues such same-sex marriage and abortion. Republicans values tend to be religious in nature which means Republicans will most likely disapprove of abortions for any reason and disagree with same-sex marriage.

Views between the two major parties of government in the United States have many differences and few similarities. The Republican side of government tends to be more conservative and more for the people’s freedoms. They also support government intervention only when necessary. The Democratic side of government tends to be more liberal and support heavy government intervention. Views between abortion, gay marriage, and many other controversial topics differ greatly between the Democratic and Republican Party.

There are clear principles that distinguish Republicans from Democrats. Republicans are conservative while Democrats are liberal. Republicans believe that taxes shouldn’t be increased for anyone, and wages should reflect

Republicans want to limit the number of social programs and encourage the individual states to be more active in their own social welfare. Democrats feel that more government is better, where the Republicans feel that the individual states should have more power. Democrats favor gun control legislation most of the time. Republicans do not seem as interested in that issue, and many Republicans can be viewed as pro gun advocates. Democrats favor affirmative action for minorities and women. Republicans favor helping the entrepreneur and tend to give tax breaks to big business. Democrats champion the cause of labor unions, while Republicans realizing that union votes are important, at the same time feel that labor unions have too much power and cost big business too much money. The next set of political differences about the issues of capital punishment and abortion rights are quite paradoxical. Democrats favor a woman’s right to choose, at the same time they are against the death penalty and want to rehabilitate prisoners. Republicans, many of them are pro-life as well as in favor of capital punishment and being tough on crime. Democrats want the government to be more involved in public education, and want more money dispersed for student loans. Republicans want the states to take the responsibility for educating their children and also want to provide vouchers as an alternative to public school. This issue is also tied to how Republicans are

There are some problems with the bill in its current form. The most notable issue comes from the fact that many families earn less than $25,000 per year, and do not file a federal tax return. These families are, thus, unable to receive the credit that they are eligible for, further increasing the burden they face in terms of the costs of childcare. There is also the fact that families with more than two children who currently receive child care, do not receive a proportionate amount of credit

Democrats fight for economic justice and security in the U.S. and global economies. For example, fairness is the core principle for the Congressional progressive caucus. It also embodies national priorities that are consistent with the values, needs, and hopes of all our people, not just the powerful and the privilege. They want to invest in America and create new jobs in the U.S. by building more affordable housing, re-building America’s schools and physical infrastructure, cleaning up our environment, and improving homeland security. They also want to ensure working families can live above the poverty line and with dignity by raising and indexing the minimum wage. Whereas the Republicans believe they shouldn’t be spending money on the homeless. Conservatives believe that giving away handouts decreases incentives to work and that, generally, welfare is the enemy of freedom. As a result, The House bill was an attempt to end the Housing Trust Fund. Housing is a human right and people should not have to live in poor conditions. I know someone that was homeless when he was young and that alone affected his mental health because of the

The impact of the “Child Trust Account” policy would benefit low-income children. This policy requires the federal to create a saving account up to 20,000 dollars when the children are born. However, children from poorest family could eventually rise to 60,000 dollars. The federal will manage the account, increasing the interest leading to more money in the account. After the children are of age, they will be able to obtain this money. The “Federal Job Guarantee” policy will increase job employment for everyone eliminating racial inequality. This system will stabilize the economy benefiting all Americans. The employment pay yearly would be approximately 50,000 and with a decreasement of net expenses. These initiatives will be beneficial towards

Did you know that around 15 million Americans, and single mother and their children are on welfare? Sometimes working 20 hours is not a possibility for a full time single parent, due to the expenses of babysitters, and schooling. These parents have only one option, which is to apply for welfare to get the assistance required to cover those expenditures so they will be able to work the 20 hours mandatory. Other single parents cannot find a job or have a challenging time keeping them due to mild disabilities and mental health issues( in line citation interview), which are out of their control. This causes worthy families to lose their rights to their children. When that happens numerous children will be taken away from their homes and placed into child protection services. Which could lead to countless future difficulties within the child’s life, when in fact this contradicts the intentions of the welfare reform act. Even though this problem can be completely avoided if benefits were not cut or denied. Although, the main idea of the welfare reform act is to insure the well-being of young children, the loss of benefits could leave many children poverty stricken. Which, ironically is what Clinton and others involved were trying to

The Democrats and the Republicans have very different ideological orientations and positions. Yet many observers claim that the parties are really quite similar in ideology when compared to other countries’ parties. Specifically, both parties support capitalism; that is both parties reject government ownership of industry production. Republicans consistency oppose increased government activity.

Recently women’s rights and women’s equality in the workplace has come back to the fore as a topic for discussion in government agencies and the United Nations. Whilst this is a very important topic, when it comes to time off from work when a new child is born, women in the US have some provision, whereas men have none.

Everyone has heard the following words at one time or another "Democrats are liberal, while Republicans are Conservative". Is this really true? In order to resolve this question, two questions must be answered, what do the two terms mean? What is liberal and what is Conservative? Some Democrats are conservative and some Republicans are liberal. In this time of turmoil, Democrats and Republicans must work together to promote the common welfare.

These two parties dominate America's political landscape, but differ greatly in their philosophies and ideals. The Republican philosophy is very conservative whereas the Democratic
