Not in my experience from what I’ve seen. Republicans are more than happy to punch down and send money up to the top. While that may have been like half the GOP reps 40 years ago, now it’s almost all of them. They spend tons of money on handouts to corporations and the wealthy.
While there’s no shortage of Dems doing the same, they have more often done good things for the population.
Example, Clinton balanced the budget and handed a surplus to Bush part II. Bush II took that, and cut taxes for big corporations and the wealthy, and increased spending the the military of course, but also in things to help out the big corporations. Cut things like education and safety nets. Handouts for the wealthy but not those that need it to live.
Also, both don’t end up spending the same, the GOP has always spent more (at least since the 60s). The national debt nearly doubled every time a Republican was president, and either stagnates or is reduced when a Democrat is president. We have the data on that.
