Powerpoint notes:
How did the Tea Party start?
Stimulus, bank bale out, obama care
Need to Know: west coast, great lake states, and the north east are democratic. Everywhere else is republican (central america.)
The 2 candidates in the 2000 election were Al gore and George W. Bush.
Electorial Vote-
Republicans- republicans are conservative, favor traditional institutions like marriage, favor laissez-faire system (hands off, let alone, leave as is) low corporate income taxes. Buisness is what makes america "tick", leave it alone. Republicans favor a limited role for government in society and believe people should help themselves, not rely on the government. favor lower taxes for buisness and individuals. Believe in the "trickle-down" theory (tax cuts to big buisness-middle class-lowerclass. by helping big buisness will eventually help middle and lower class people, because they will expand buisness, pay workers more, etc.) Rugged individualism-it is up to you to help yourself, don't depend on the government: for welfare checks, school, etc.
