Le gouvernement n'en fait pas assez pour les personnes âgées, les pauvres et la classe moyenne (Pew Research Center)

Les récentes annonces républicaines et les propositions budgétaires de Donald Trump pourraient-elles contribuer à modifier ces perceptions? Assurément ces mêmes perceptions reflètent le fossé qui sépare les électeurs républicains et démocrates.

 "Pew Research Center’s recent report on the public’s political values found that partisan differences in attitudes about aid to the poor and needy have widened considerably over the past two decades. In that study, 71% of Democrats said the government should do more to help the needy even if it meant going deeper in debt, compared with 24% of Republicans.

 Democrats and Republicans also differ in their attitudes about the help the government provides to wealthy people. A large majority of Democrats (77%) say the federal government provides too much help to the wealthy. As with views about government help to the poor, Republicans are divided. Nearly half of Republicans (46%) say the federal government provides too much help for wealthy people, 42% say it provides about the right amount, while 6% say it does not provide enough help."
