It depends on what you consider "hurt the economy". If you are for higher taxes and more social programs vote for one of the Democrats. If you like the tax brackets the way they are and favor a charitable capitalist solution to help the lower classes then vote Republican.

No matter how you look at it, Democrats have to hurt economic prosperity. They run on platform of taking from the "rich" in order to help the poor. Because this is their base they have to promote these social ills even though they have failed in the past. The welfare state doesn't help anyone. Look at Louisiana all types of welfare no type of life.

Democrats forget Bill Clinton was able to control the budget because he cut more social programs then any president in history including Ronald Reagan. He did away with well-fare because it failed. America doesn't run on well-fare it runs on hard work and charity. This is why America gives more money to charity every year then the rest of the world combined.

Those of the Democratic party dont like to admit that when you raise taxes on big business its the little people you are hurting. CEO's are still rich but their are less new business for the lower classes to work, less opportunity to buy cheap goods. For example they fight Wal-Mart every step of the way yet never talk about the millions of lower class citizen who save greatly at Wal-Mart. What about Wal-marts $4 prescriptions. You can get almost any generic prescription at Wal-mart for $4. Who do you think that helps?

I like less taxes and more self-responsibility. SO does big business and big business is what drives our economy so if you are against big business you are against economic prosparity and if you are for more social problems your for a slow moving economy.
