To make this less confusing for me, let's just stick with U.S. republicanism (R) vs democratic principles (D) (although, if you want to expand on your country's politics you are more than welcome)
I am a little unsure about what primal elements of fiscal policies of R vs D that manifest to what the GOP wants vs DP (Democratic Party) such as business vs civilian taxes.
6 Questions: (Answer any or all)
1) Am I correct by saying that republicans generally want less taxes on business and more taxes on workers? 2) If yes, is this because republicans have a different "fiscal philosophy" than democrats such as trickle down economics? 3) And why is this for republicanism?
4) Are democrats typical more interested in economic equality? 5) If yes, is this a necessary intrinsic "left" element to keep there from being a present day French-type revolution?
I bring up the French Revolution because the king's councel to his left seemed to be in a little more support for equality after the revolution. 6) Was this left counsel installed mostly due to a lesson learnt from the revolution?
Please help, any details or good references that you want to add will be greatly appreciated.
