Democrats historically supported state programs, such as 'Food Stamps', financial assistance, programs to support and assist single mothers in returning to the "employed" population, etc. Seems as though there has been a complete turnaround. Republicans, on the other hand, appear historically anti "social programs advocates. That's why I, and a number of my relatives usually voted a Democratic 'straight ticket.' Now it appears, as my father said 'prior to his passing, that now it is the time to vote as a REPUBLICRAT, meaning to "vote for the lesser of two evils," rather than the best man. Kinda' sad, wouldn't you say?

Do democrats want big or small government?
That is a very good question. Democrats want government to serve the people. Democrats want government to solve problems. Democrats do not hate government; they understand that government has a purpose. At the same time they are not spend thrifts. The recognize the value of tax dollars and they understand that programs must be continued only if they are cost effective and do an important job. To believe that government should be smaller merely because you believe government should be smaller is thought by jingoism. People who do not like government make poor governors.

Do Democrats support higher taxes?
Both Democrats and Republicans support higher taxes it is just a matter of degree. There is perhaps a bit more honesty coming from the Democrats in terms of taxation as the Republicans seem to want to be viewed as some kind of conservative anti-tax movement but this is just delusion on their part. The Republican party may be conservative if the status quo is what they are conserving, but they are certainly not even remotely interested in conserving the Constitution and if it is the status quo they are conserving, then they are conserving a tax and spend government rife with social programs that amount to nothing more than legal plunder. The Democrats are not any more innocent when it comes to legal plunder and it could be argued they are the authors of most legislation that plunders which only makes them more honest about their intents. Democrats play upon our hearts asking us to be more compassionate towards our fellow man and allowing government to be the agent of our compassion. Republicans play upon our reason knowing that most people still cherish freedom and the principles of self governing more than they cherish social well fare. The Republican poses as a protector of cherished principles while it gladly goes along with the unbearable expansion of government. Expansion of government requires taxation, higher taxation and even higher taxation. The more taxes we pay the bigger our government becomes, the bigger our government becomes the more taxes we pay. The more oppression, the more suppression, am I making an Impression?
