Yes,I did not get the name and credentials of the guy speaking for the Republican party on national TV. If you have the precise and accurate platform of the Republican Party direct from the Party Chairman you may post that.
You seem to be confused about what "Third World Country" means, due to the many definitions. I have copied the Wikipedia definition below which is widely accepted. The important fact is that little or no taxes results in little or no military, education, health, roads, bridges, airports, police and other public services.
From Wikipedia:
"Third World is a categorical label used to describe states that are considered to be underdeveloped in terms of their economy or level of industrialization, globalization, standard of living, health, education or other criteria for 'advancements'.
My point about the speaker on TV wasn't against you, I was just saying none of us can comment on it because we don't know who "he" is and you gave us a summary in your own words. Considering how little you seem to know about Republicans, you can surely understand my lack of faith in your summary.
When a Republican talks about lower taxes, they don't mean little to no taxes. That would be Libertarians (if we were to simplify things to their very basic definitions). We're well aware of the importance of the military, education, health, roads, bridges, airports, police and other public services. However, I should also point out that many times it's benificial to have private individuals offer these services as well (like private schools and hospitals). Why? Because it creates competition and avoids giving the government a monopoly, which is just as bad as letting companies have a monopoly.
I won't get into the 3rd World Country stuff because someone else already got into it. However, I'd like to point something out. Notice how your source doesn't say anything about Free Markets. In other words, your own source even says your definition is off.
