conservatives who want to maintain the culture of economic freedom

[/ QUOTE ]

Who do you think you're talking to? Please! Conservatives in this present administration want to preserve the culture of global economic monopoly of big business.

Simply voting the conservative party is not the way to improve this country and it's pretty clear you're going to anyway no matter what, regardless of what scum the RNC conjures up next to run for office. I find that to be ridiculous.

Voting for the LESSER of two evils is ridiculous?
I suppose I should vote for the GREATER of two evils.
Now, I find that to be ridiculous.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[dr_venkman]

The 'lesser of two evils' is the choice they give to people who can't think of a third of their own.

Someone with your handle ought to know more about this subject than you appear to.

LOL! -lot of good that did you, 'eh?

but, seriously, I'll take personal and social freedom over economic freedom any day- i think you have it backwards when you say that economic freedom leads to social freedom.

actually, one isn't much good without the others; life, liberty, and the pursuit of property (the original phrasing of that famous statement) are all irrevocably connected.

Some people on here feel that we don't live in an "economically free" society, apparently.

The US has one of the freest economies in the world.

Having a safety net does not make a country less receptive to economic freedom. Likewise, having taxes doesn't mean that there isn't economic freedom.

[Felix_Nietsche]

Economic Freedom usually results in the people have more of their own money while the govt gets less of the people's money.
Less Money = Less Govt Power

E.g. The Govt can pass a laws to limit freedoms...BUT...they need money to enforce those laws. They are many laws on the books that are not enforced because the govt does not allocate the resources($) to enforce those laws...

As opposed to American liberals who fight against corporate hegemony?

I don't speak for Liberals so I don't know.
