Opinion | Newt Gingrich: Gap widens between Democrats and American values and beliefs WashTimesOpEd
At America’s New Majority Project, we began in 2018 looking for issues, values and solutions that would bring the American people together. This would enable Republicans, Democrats and independents to work together to govern with legislation and action that would represent the beliefs and desires of the American people.
The Democrats’ constant efforts to raise taxes and government spending also reflect a repudiation of the American people. In one recent America’s New Majority Project study, we found that 70% of Americans believe a strong and growing economy is more important than raising taxes to ensure the long-term stability of Medicare and Social Security. By contrast, only 19% favor the Biden administration’s position of raising taxes .
While I was speaker of the House, we had a remarkable number of bipartisan votes. In fact, a significant number of Democrats voted for every item in the Contract with America. When our biggest conservative policy, the 1996 welfare reform bill, came up, literally half the Democrats in the House voted for it. We were able to negotiate with President Bill Clinton and attract Democrats’ congressional votes because we were consistently doing what the American people wanted.
In Democratic policymaking, the people matter less than the elitist interest groups, corporate media and theConsider these overwhelmingly supported positions and how different they are from the Democrats who now dominate the elected officials:• 83% prefer to identify themselves as Americans rather than by their racial or ethnic backgrounds.• 79% believe that people who believe in the values found in the Bible have the right to express them publicly.
