You seem to be under the impression that voters actually get a say in what happens

I'm a young intellectual who doesn't mix my religion with my politics. I'm not a Republican, but a libertarian. You say that people who don't want their money taken by the government will vote Republican, meaning that people will think that the Republicans support low taxes and small government. However, the public should not be misled: this is not true of most Republicans. This mises.org article and this creators.com article provide some evidence.
edit: Add that the public should not be misled.

"Young intellectuals" (read as: college kids) are some of the most brainwashed folks I've met. The lack of critical thinking and application of those reasoning skills is honestly quite shocking. Anything that's slightly unsavory is dismissed with an -ism.
