Republicans like to spend money, like to keep the government out of their business, rugged individualism/ limited role for government in society and believe that people should help themselves. Democrats favor change in society, increasing taxes to support programs, increase taxes for rich, oppose government intervention into one's life, support regulations on economic activity and businesses, favor an active role for government in society. Flag Burning: Republicans want it to be illegal because they are strong in the constitution, and Democrats think it's a freedom. Natural environment: Democrats think strong regulations are needed to protect the environment, but Republicans say that strong environmental laws hare the economy.
