Any party that convinces people to vote with their own economic welfare not in mind is a bad party for the US.
as a very strong republican, i disagree with the image you're trying to paint here about conservatives in general.

i, for one, have the opinion that less taxes for the rich are a good thing. the fact that they're rich, means that they've obviously risen to the top or have gotten near the top of their respective company, and therefore have hundreds, maybe thousands of people working under them (the middle class and low income families). taxing the rich and big businesses into oblivian makes it impossible for them to turn a profit and grow at the same time. the only way for them to turn a profit, is to layoff a bunch of people. obviously this does nothing for most of America as it would up the unemployment percentage. taxing businesses and the rich less makes it possible for them to turn a profit and employ more people at the same time.

less government spending like social services? i dont think its the government's job to support people who are too lazy to go out and try to support themselves. thats not to take anything away from people who have tried but still arent been able to....i just think there's far too many free-loaders in this country, who'd rather sit on their ass and wait for the government checks to come in the mail. the government's job is to govern the people; not spoon feed everyone, hold their hands, and try to get involved in every aspect of everyone's life.
