For example: There seems to be two philosophical distinctions between left and right on the governance of our freedoms, including taxes and the very view people have about the machinations of government.
In regards to taxes:
- Liberals want TEMPORARY, TARGETED taxes and an INCREASE IN SPENDING to solve all of our problems.
- Conservatives want PERMANENT, BROAD-BASED tax cuts, and a DECREASE IN SPENDING (In other words, limited government).
Brit Hume said it best (I'm paraphrasing): "Republicans want to protect the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. Liberals want to divide up the eggs---income redistribution."
Again, measure the real life effect with each approach.
More later, Wade
