I think Republican policies are generally geared to people who have the ability and desire to improve their economic circumstances through their own efforts.
Republicans are not strong for people who have disabilities and the like.
I think this is a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Republicans falsely assume that everyone (or almost everyone) can succeed if they work hard enough. Democrats tend to have in mind those who need help.
Democrats are much more likely to realize that a high proportion of those who don't succeed, fail due to circumstances outside their control.
