Firstly, middle age to elderly people would vote Republican as they tend to be more socially conservative because of the era they were brought up in. This especially applies to the more elderly voter. Secondly, someone with a decent to high income would vote Republican because the party believes in less-taxation. Which is ideal for the higher-earners. Thirdly, men tend to vote more in favour of the Republican party because on average men earn more money than women and the Republicans promote low-taxation.
Similarities and Differences: T. Roosevelt vs. W. Wilson Michelle Neuman HIS204 Professor Carl Garrigus July 8, 2013 Similarities and Differences: T. Roosevelt vs. W. Wilson The election of 1912 was an election that changed the country, as 75 percent of all votes cast were for a Progressive candidate. The candidates were Theodore Roosevelt, a staunch Progressive who ran under the newly created Bull Moose Party; William Howard Taft, a Republican; and, Woodrow Wilson, a Progressive Democrat. The race was one of astounding victory for the progressive way of thinking. While there were definite parallels in the two men, the contrasts were far more striking. Even though Roosevelt and Wilson were both supportive of the progressive movement, they ran for President under two completely different parties, and this was not their only difference.
Bush had a significant impact on the political leanings of Hispanics and Latinos. As a former Governor of Texas, Bush regarded this growing community as a potential source of growth for the conservative movement and the Republican Party, and he made some gains for the Republicans among the group. In the 1996 presidential election, 72% of Hispanics and Latinos backed President Bill Clinton, but in 2000 the Democratic total fell to 62%, and went down again in 2004, with Democrat John Kerry winning Hispanics 58–40 against Bush. Hispanics in the West, especially in California, were much stronger for the Democratic Party than in Texas and Florida. California Latinos voted 63–32 for Kerry in 2004, and both Arizona and New Mexico Latinos by a smaller 56–43 margin; but Texas Latinos were split nearly evenly, favoring Kerry 50–49, and Florida Latinos (mostly being Cuban American) backed Bush, by a 54–45
Bankers learned that giving people with poor credit access to the same or similar amenities of those who are financially stable with good credit could prove to be profitable (Jennings 2012). Bankers and investors found that greater profits could be earned by charging more to those with poor credit who were less stable. Because home ownership is such a significant part of fulfillment of the American Dream, those who are less financially stable with poor credit are willing to pay more to live the American Dream. What is the product of this demand for greater risk lenders, the subprime loan. Companies such as Goldman Sach and Meryl Lynch acquired large amounts of equity to fund small amounts of assets (Lewis, Kay, Kelso.
The superPAC has created a ecosystem where corporations and unions can give an unlimited amount of money to a candidate with the expectation of a return on their investment in the form of political influence (Eggan). Some believe that this is a fair application of the First Amendment and some believe that it is a gross misstep on the part of the Supreme Court. Either way, it can be stated with certainty that the Citizens United v Federal Election Commission case has vastly altered the battleground of political campaigns in America. In 2007 the conservative non-profit called Citizens United made a documentary called Hilary: The Movie which highlighted reasons why Hilary Clinton, who was running for president at the time, was not fit for office. Citizens United had wanted to make Hilary: The Movie available on pay-per-view television following other airings of the film.
Those changes were the result of, well-financed and well-organized efforts by the corporate sector to push government policies to lean in favor of the very wealthy. Government policy plays a important role in increasing the rate of inequality. The rich use their wealth to take advantage of lobbying the politicians — Democrats and Republicans — to ensure the smooth passage of a legislation that redistributes wealth from the working class and the poor to themselves. Even though the income of
The Falkands Factor ●Thatcher's popularity rose to 52% ● Similar to Churchill when WW2 win boosted morale ● Showed off Thatcher's leadership skills ● Restored public's faith in her Freddie Holley In conclusion the main factor in Thatcher’s 1983 victory was the ‘Falklands factor’ as it boosted her popularity which would have eventually got her more votes in the election. However, some may say that Labour weaknesses was the most important factor, some even went as far as saying that the Conservatives “won by default”.

Paid advertising is when a presidential candidate pays to broadcast his message to the American people. Its affects are fairly obvious, they will almost always increase support for that candidate and decrease support for the opposition. Therefore, whoever has the most money will end up ahead. News reporting has varying effects on presidential elections. The positive side is that for the most part, new stations will broadcast the truth.
It is the latter however, that end up with the most capital in the long run. The advantage of free trade from a liberal perspective is the ability of the minority controlling the goods to ascertain more wealth than the majority manufacturing the goods. What Smith’s perspective does not take into account is why nations with more low-level workers are less prosperous than nations with more advanced means of production. Nations that have advanced technologically are better off because their means of production allow for more production from less workers, but cost more and are less appealing to those in control. This element relates directly to the disadvantage of a liberal perspective.
I believe that many talented professional would love to work for Dan Price, not only because of the larger salary he guarantees to pay, but manly because of his approach to a problem that affects the corporate world: payment inequalities. Of course, I also believe that a leader takes more risks and, therefore, should get larger reward. Nevertheless, accumulating money is scientifically proven to make no one happy and it is a big hazard to the world’s economy. New Oxfam report says that the 80 richest individuals on Earth have as much health as the 3.5 Billion poorest people. These 80 individuals could be as happy with less than 10% of their money, while the poorest population would immensely improve their quality of life by getting a share of that money.
