1 POLITICAL POWER: WHICH PARTY IS BETTER FOR THE WELLBEING OF THE PEOPLE? Nick Slovikoski

2 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?

3 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 capitalist- class families.

4 HISTORY HAS PROVEN IT

5 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
