发帖数: 5449 | 5 Economic policies
Republicans strongly believe that free markets and individual achievement
are the primary factors behind economic prosperity. To this end, they
advocate in favor of laissez-faire economics, fiscal conservatism, and the
elimination of government run welfare programs in favor of private sector
nonprofits and encouraging personal responsibility.
A leading economic theory advocated by modern Republicans is supply side
economics. Some fiscal policies influenced by this theory were popularly
known as Reaganomics, a term popularized during the Presidential
administrations of Ronald Reagan. This theory holds that reduced income tax
rates increase GDP growth and thereby generate the same or more revenue for
the government from the smaller tax on the extra growth.[24] This belief is
reflected, in part, by the party's long-term advocacy of tax cuts. Many
Republicans consider the income tax system to be inherently inefficient and
oppose graduated tax rates, which they believe are unfairly targeted at
those who create jobs and wealth. They believe private spending is usually
more efficient than government spending. Republicans oppose the estate tax.
Most Republicans agree there should be a "safety net" to assist the less
fortunate; however, they tend to believe the private sector is more
effective in helping the poor than government is; as a result, Republicans
support giving government grants to faith-based and other private charitable
organizations to supplant welfare spending. Members of the GOP also believe
that limits on eligibility and benefits must be in place to ensure the
safety net is not abused. Republicans introduced and strongly supported the
welfare reform of 1996, which was signed into law by Democratic President
Clinton, and which limited eligibility for welfare, successfully leading to
many former welfare recipients finding jobs.[25][26]
The party opposes a government-run single-payer health care system,
believing such a system constitutes socialized medicine, and is in favor of
a personal or employer-based system of insurance, supplemented by Medicare
for the elderly and Medicaid, which covers approximately 40% of the poor.[

historically popular Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Congressional Republicans and the Bush administration supported a reduction
in Medicaid's growth rate;[28] however, congressional Republicans expanded
Medicare, supporting a new drug plan for seniors starting in 2006.
In 2011, House Republicans overwhelmingly voted for a proposal named The
Path to Prosperity and for major changes to Medicare, Medicaid, and the 2010
Health Care Legislation. Many Republicans support increased health
insurance portability, laws promoting coverage of pre-existing medical
conditions, a cap on malpractice lawsuits, the implementation of a
streamlined electronic medical records system, an emphasis on preventative
care rather than emergency room care, and tax benefits aimed at making
health insurance more affordable for the uninsured and targeted to promote
universal access. They generally oppose government funding for elective
abortions.[29]
Republicans are generally opposed by labor union management and members, and
have supported various legislation on the state and federal levels,
including right to work legislation and the Taft-Hartley Act, which gives
workers the right not to participate in unions, as opposed to a closed shop,
which prohibits workers from choosing not to join unions in workplaces.
Some Republicans are opposed to increases in the minimum wage, believing
that such increases hurt many businesses by forcing them to cut jobs and
services, export jobs overseas, and raise the prices of goods to compensate
for the decrease in profit. |
