And that's the opinion I'm trying to change. Tipper gore is not liberal, Peta is not liberal. A true liberal doesn't care.
And no hippy likes communism, period. You'll find socialists, but not communists. Despite what Ronnie Regan would like you to belive, there is a difference. The remaining real Penko people are hard to find.
Not neccesarily. We're seeing more fiscal conservatism in the age following Clinton. I beleive taxes should be raised, and many upper income breaks need to be pulled back. The government gets it's money from taxes. Since Bush is on an all out 8 year spending spree, wasting our money on helping out a country that cant help itself, the govt is trying to make up w/o raising taxes. You see more and more things getting cut, "triming the fat" etc etc, which is good....Accept we're running out of fat and beginning to cut into meat, Perscription drug plans and public works projects coming to mind.
If you live here you gotta pay taxes, period.
"Small govt, more state power" is as vague as any hippy ideology. The govt has a job to do. If state power and "family values" is all your side is about, then pray to god you never win. You have guys like Regan and Bush that tell you they represent those values, and you love them, despite the fact that they are responceble for the outsourcing of american jobs, the Social Security delema, and soaring intrests rate.
You claim being a republican is about more state power and strong family values, but the truth of the matter is that being a republican is about helping buisness do buisness. Oh so focused on getting money to come into the country, yet oh so apathetic on what happens to it afterwards. 90% of it goes to 3% of the population, who then spend demand for lowering taxes on the part of blue collar conservatives, and the outsourcing of our jobs in the intrest of saving a buck by white collar conservatives, you have at least half of the US population and about 60-70% of its wealth holders NOT willing to invest money in their own country.
