The two major political parties in the United States are Republican and Democrat. They are a lot of differences between the two but there are also some similarities. This year, in the 2010 elections, the Republicans took over and dominate the house. Democrats also lost control of majority in state legislators.
The Democratic party favors states rights and strict adherence to the constitution. It is opposed to the national bank and wealthy, moneyed interests. The democrats also favor minimum wage and increasing taxes on the wealthy. Democrats are also very liberal. The Republican party belives that taxes shouldn't be increased for anyone and wages should reflect the free market. They are very justice based and believe in individual rights. Republicans are very conservative.
I feel that in the past, present, and future that I would and will support the Republican party. From what I have researched, I believe in most of the same things they do. I think its a very good idea to not increase taxes for anyone and to have a strong belief in individual rights. I am very happy that the representitives of the House are mainly Republicans, I think it is better for our coutry and things will begin to work out better.
