"Republican or Democrat"

I am Centrist. Personally I don't think that what anyone should choose one political party, and stick to it. Every canidate has their own view, and you might not like it even though you like that party, therefore what would you do. Thats why I stay with an open mind. I also like different things about both the republican and democratic parties.
For the Democrats I like that they:
-help the people
-their pro-union
-taxes
But I don't agree that the wealthy people should be paying so much money for taxes, to support failures, people that drop out or are to lazy to get a job. There are a lot of opertunities in this country there is no way that a person can not find a job anywhere. Why settle for unemployment, of social security.

For the Republicans I like that they:
-want each person to think for themselves
-they are more open minded about things, that everyone can succeed if they try.
-everyone should work for themselves
-have money but WORK FOR IT!
-big business (I agree with this, because the owner of this business worked very hard to be where they are today, therefore they should be supported.)

Im a Centrist because both parties have great ideas, if only the could unit and be one it would be great.
