As for income categories, individuals making over $100,000 annually trust Democrats more to take on economic issues. By contrast, individuals making between $30,000 and $50,000 annually are most likely to indicate that they trust Republicans more on this matter.
Indeed, Democrats support big spending, loose money, and heavy regulation — all policies that benefit entrenched interest groups at the expense of Middle Americans.
That said, Republicans have proven to be quite useless in stopping these problems due to their propensity of in carrying out piecemeal reforms. It’s going to take a serious free market movement that will gut the administrative state, slash taxes, and restore sound money to bring back any semblance of economic sanity.
Sadly, the two-party system does not allow for such an option to become politically viable at the moment.
