Both the Red and Blue team stand for the same thing, redistributing wealth from those that produce to those that do not. The only conflict between them is which parasitic aspect of society gets the spoils.
the GOP generally favor lower taxes which prevents income/assets from being redistributed. They tend to favor the free market as opposed to forcing people/businesses to act a certain way
Historically that may have been true. Today's GOP works to transfer massive debt obligations to the state and taxpayer via corporate bailouts and accelerate the insolvency of the state. They also wholeheartedly support a fractional reserve financial system that gradually and progressively impoverishes the middle class. These policies lead directly to ever higher taxes when the Blue team takes their turn in the cycle of governance.
Cromnibus should open the eyes of anyone who believes there is a substantial difference between the Red and Blue team. The taxpayers just got put on the hook for trillions of dollars of future bank derivative losses. This law passed without much fuss through a republican house and a democratic senate. Both teams are the same.
