15 Questions for Conservatives

I have a few questions that I would love answers to. I am not attempting to be sarcastic or vindictive. I am sincerely asking. I just want to know a few things to hopefully further understand you and your political views.

This is not a test. There is no wrong answer.

Please feel free to answer any of my questions and if anyone has any questions for me, I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.


Question #1. If Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility, then why haven't they balanced the budget or created a strong economy that is fair for all classes since the 50's with Eisenhower?


Question #2. Under Eisenhower, the rich paid 90% in taxes and the middle/lower classes had their taxes cut dramatically. Would you consider Eisenhower to be a socialist?


Question #3. If capitalism is the greatest and most reliable economic system and communism and socialism are failed economic policies, Then why have we (Capitalist) borrowed so much money from China (Communist) that we are almost beholden to them? If our system is the greatest and communism will weaken a country, then shouldn't this situation be the other way around?
