I think republicans want smaller, less intrusive government, and lower taxes. A country never taxed itself to prosperity.
There has been a multi-tiered tax system in place for a very long time. It's not a democrat or republican thing.
The federal government was not meant to take care of every individuals every need.
My big concern is health care. It's become too expensive. Too many people are left out. Insurers are not providing adequate care. Before the housing bubble, the number one cause of foreclosures in this country was due to people becoming ill or getting hurt and unable to work. First you're savings runs out. Then your retirement money is depleted. Then your out on the street. Health care shouldn't be based on employment status.
