In the second GOP debate, I truly believe the candidates did a good job about not having the debate be just a drama match of talking about he said she said. I loved when Ted Cruz was asked a question after many of the other candidates were targeted for drama for the media ratings and used his time to shut the people asking the questions up, and to ask questions on how if they get elected as president how they will make this country better. I know all of the candidates on the stage were thinking the same way Ted Cruz was when he made that comment. The people asking the questions were stunned that he said that while the people in the audience were very happy and relieved someone had finally told the media to focus on what the candidates will have to offer.
Even though the republican party tends to care and focus on all five of the categories, the fairness category actually stood out to me a lot in the debate. That could just be because of the way I interpreted it. When the tax issue was brought up, Ted Cruz pretty much said taxes aren’t fair across the board. The democrats want to tax the rich, but doing that only shows how they only care about helping the poor. Ted Cruz believes no matter where you are financially, you shouldn’t be taxed any more or any less than what you should be paying. I agree with this and will connect it to the American dream, everyone has the opportunity to become wealthy so why should the people who earned their wealth have to pay more taxes for the people who don’t work hard to make their money like these people did? It doesn’t make sense to me. We need to be just as fair to the wealthy as we are to the less fortunate.
