(1) I most identify with the Republican party. I am conservative and believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. I am not saying that I look down on same sex marriage because we all have the right to choose who we are with, but marriage was designed for one man and one woman. I believe that life should be born instead of taken away just because it was the easy way out. I feel that illegal aliens should not be able to come into the U.S. and get insurance and health care when legal citizens can not get any at all. I do not agree with the cap of limited tax deductions because lower and middle income class struggle therefore upper and wealthy class should get taxed more.

(2) I feel that America does need political parties. If America did not have any we would all strive for different objectives. You would not be able to fine ten people that think the same way for the benefit  of the people. What a perfect world we would live in if we all had the same goal in mind as our founding fathers. Our founding fathers fought for independence for the growth of our country. Some political parties now want to hinder that growth instead of keeping it the greatest country on Earth. Therefore we need political parties so one party is still fighting for values that our founding fathers had while the other tries to diminish it.

(3) I mostly identify with the Whig Party, because the Whig Party promoted industrial growth in the United States. They helped promote public schools, private colleges, charities, and cultural institutions. Although I do not believe in everything this party stood for, it did help our country.
