hmmm... I don't know about that, but the right are generally more concerned with taxes. Just look at GWB, for instance, he obviously didn't care about what his fiscal policies did to the economy in the long run or he wouldn't have done half the stupid things he did. But he cut taxes for the wealthy, and the repubs loved him for it.
Clinton had us set up for a budget surplus for 25 years, so he was looking quite a bit into the future, wouldn't you say?
Education is another democratic issue, and quite a forward-looking one at that.
I don't agree with the dems trying to rush this health care thing through, but republican Congresses have done the same thing in the past.
It's all politics, and it's all equally crooked if you ask me. I just identify more with liberal ideals than conservative ones. I don't align myself with any politicians. Period.
GWB did what he did because he had to. We had to respond to a terror attack, did we not? That's the key difference.
Look at a bit more extreme example. Say we were nuked, would you be thinking about the future deficit a war might create, or would you be thinking more about the protection of the country? That's the key difference.
It is all crooked and they are all crooks. People are concerned with taxes because we want to spend as much time in freedom as possible. That's what America is based on, freedom. When we have to work more hours to handle increased taxes, we have less time to spend with family, friends, anything that is FREEDOM.
Survival is the one physical requirement of freedom. Got to handle survival responsibilities before we get to do what we want.
That's why some people work as little as possible and live the most free life they can.
Some parents are even more concerned with their child's future so they work extra to accomplish paying for the child's college so they can have a successful financial future, which means more freedoms in life.
