You are hitting on an area where we differ greatly. The democrats want to care for, guide and direct their constituency. They want more taxes, more programs and more control. The Republicans want every person to excel and reach the highest level their skills, aptitude, drive and commitment will take them to. Republicans want to simply clear the road and make available the freedom to reach out for success. They try to take the roadblocks out of the way and that is as it should be. Every person has more inside them to excel or attain goals than they realize. Democrats rearly stunt the growth of people by keeping them mired in dependency. There is a saying that is applicable, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." To be simplistic, I believe the difference in the Democratic and Republican philosophies is the Democrats want to give us a fish each day and the Republicans want to teach us how to fish for ourselves. When we can and do it ourselves it raises our self esteem, it gives us independence and it makes our population more productive. Democrats stifle this because they have established their method of ruling to make their constituency dependent on them. They try to become Robin Hoods. Excessive and confiscatory taxation of the working ones to fund the programs for those who, in too many cases, simply choose to be dependent and not work and produce. Everyone wants to care for those who cannot care for themselves. We want the ones who can but won't care for themselves to learn to be constructively independent and self supporting.
