Which of the following would be part of the Republican Party platform? Creating a new public health care system Banning hand gun use Reducing the size of government Raising taxes on the wealthy

Reducing the size of government would be a major thrust of the Republican Party platform out of these choices. Republicans often state that they seek to reduce the size of government and also government spending. However, historically the Republican party has not had a strong record of shrinking the size of American Government and spending such as under the Bush Administration when the size of the American Government grew with drastic increases in spending as a result of the War on Terror, and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
