Republicans and Democrats: Capitalism vs. Workers’ Welfare
What is the nature of the political war between the Democratic leaders and the Republican candidates on the government's role in our society?
We call our system a Capitalistic society. A society based on the principle of making profits and using our capitals to employ others to produce goods and services (workers) for making profits from the investment. We have been very successful as a Capitalistic system. The conflict between the two parties can be summarized by:
Republican Party candidates advocate curtailment if not the elimination of the government’s control on making profits.
Democratic Party leaders advocate protection for people who provide the services, their environment security, and income.
Republican candidates challenge the leadership in the Democratic Party as a hindrance to freedom of making profits by creating many rules and regulations. The Republican leaders see these regulations as anti-job or anti-profit. They indicate these regulations reduce the profits. They consider environmental protection of air and water as a tax on the system by reducing resources for re-investment into activities which would not make more money.
Republican candidates support a free international commerce where the products are produced in places with a lower cost than the United States. Under our system, an invested capital would realize a higher profit where labor costs are less and the environmental and workplace regulation are not enforced.
Are Republican candidates trading the welfare of the workers in the United States for higher profits? There is nothing wrong with the capitalism, without it, all incentives for hard work will diminish. How can we protect our workers and our environment while we continue to make a profit?
This is one of the many arguments between the Democrats and the Republicans: workers’ welfare vs. making more money for capital investment.
