The text also states, “Thanks to a man who took the flannel shirt off his back, Ledbetter says he put a make-do tourniquet on a wounded teenage girl, whose face was covered with blood.” This illustrates the fact that The Golden Rule was also followed here when a young girl was helped by a stranger.

Republicans and Democrats think differently when it comes to forming a U.S. economic policy. On average, Republicans make tax cuts their highest priority, since they prefer the idea that reducing the role of the government in the economy will stimulate economic growth and promote investment.

Thus, Republicans justify that the policy encourages individuals to become creative investors and productive workers. Democrats on the other hand, favor higher levels of public spending, since they need taxes to fund government programs.
