POLITICAL POWER: WHICH
PARTY IS BETTER FOR THE
WELLBEING OF THE PEOPLE?
Nick Slovikoski
THE CONNECTION
• Politics and social class are inevitable linked: there is a conflict
between the “propertied and propertyless”
• Each political party has an independent agenda, and each has
different effects on the country and inequality.
• So which party is better for the country as a whole?
SHORT ANSWER
• In short, the Democrats seem to be working more in favor of all the people
• They support policies which promote the well-being of everyone such as high
taxes on the richer to help maintain the country that helped them earn that
money
• Also support a higher minimum wage, which in turn helps low-skilled workers
at least earn enough to live on and lower inequality.
• Highly endorse unionizing workers, which is proven to lessen inequality over
history
• Meanwhile, Bush legislation has placed the federal estate tax on the path to
extinction. This bill was promoted by a company who is funded by capitalistclass families.
HISTORY HAS PROVEN IT
More facts and stuff
So,
• Employment has grown much
more under Democrats
• Gini has nearly always fallen
under Democrats, and almost
always risen under Republicans
• The GDP has grown more under
Democrats than Republicans
