These policies, primarily backed or implemented by Republican legislators or administrations over the last century, systematically reduced funding for public services, deregulated industries, and prioritized tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. They aimed to shrink government spending, promote free-market principles, and favor large businesses, but critics argue they significantly widened the wealth gap by cutting social safety nets, suppressing wages, and reducing opportunities for the working and middle classes. These decisions largely benefited corporations, high-income earners, and the political elite at the expense of the broader population.
