i'll resist the urge to give yet another backhanded compliment.
i think the democratic stance on worker's comp and worker's rights are better. they may not be the most efficient ways to get the economy going white-hot, but i know from experience that without the regulations the democrats often promote the average working person will get trodden on. sometimes the republicans advocate the economic equivalent of the "law of the jungle" which might be good in the short-term but really opens the door for employee neglect.
