Once the basic necessities have been achieved, future income is only lightly connected to well-being. democrats generally seek to tax future income to finance programs that meet basic needs, including food, clothing shelter, retirement security and health care. republicans, in contrast, seek to protect future income from taxation, often at the expense of meeting the basic needs of the less fortunate. so which of our two main political parties is more concerned with achieving broad happiness, and which party is more concerned with fulfilling selfishness?

This is a loaded political question. But I think the question is trying to get you to think about who is doing the best for society as a whole and who is thinking about doing what's best for them.

However, some would argue that doing what's best for yourself will also lead to the greater good of society, but I think this question (as unfair as it may be), is leading you to say that democrats are more concerned with achieving broad happiness and republicans are concerned with fulfilling selfishness.

all you have to do is give a good answer with details and the answer has to be understandable and then they will most likely give you the brainliest answer.
