I'm gonna say republicans, even though I hate their personal beliefs.

I'm torn though. Money isn't everything.

Neither. Government is bad for the economy and it is comprised of both D's and R's.

I agree. Both are wasteful and personally greedy. There is no better. One wastes money in one arena, and the other wastes it in another.

I'm going to have to agree after the secret obamatrade spectacle.

Neither. Conservatism is better for the economy. REAL conservatism. Not crony capitalist phonies who are beholden to lobbyists and more worried about their own money/power.

What are their "personal beliefs" that are problematic for you? Do you know what their "personal beliefs" are?

You're right. Money isn't everything, except to the person who is barely scraping by. Republicans hope to help those people with policies that build a strong economy. You cannot build a strong economy with policies that are unfriendly to business. Republicans get criticized for being pro-business; but it is businesses that hire people. If you advocate for policies that are anti-business, guess who you are hurting? The people that need jobs!

The Democrats claim to be "for the people," but they do all the wrong things, and end up with an economy such as we have today. People have giving up looking for work.

Reagan's policies were an example of Republican policies that work to strengthen the economy, and thereby put people to work. Reagan's legacy was 96 straight months of economic expansion. To be fair, JFK's policies were similar to Reagan's. Today's Democrats are out of a different mold. They don't know how to put people back to work. So, my answer to the question is, Republicans are better for the economy.

I like the answers I'm seeing. The more restrictions you put on the market and the more you try to micromanage it, the less wealth you'll end up with. Neither party has any intention of actually giving up state control.
