[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 445091, member: 789"] I’ll bash the Liberals incessantly on here but it comes down to this: Liberals believe that your accomplishments are predominantly due to government assistance and inherent advantages or disadvantages of the system that you received by virtue of your social position- race, income level, etc. They attribute your personal outcome to the system- if you succeeded than you had gained unfair advantages over the disadvantaged and were not subjected to the disadvantages as much or at all. Liberals believe the system is inherently biased & use the data to support their position. They do not believe you really earned anything. Conservatives believe the system is inherently just & advantages one would gain thru government assistance need to be eliminated unless they’re providing the vast majority as much benefit as everyone else. We balk at suggestions that our hard work, dedication, prudent lifestyles, etc are not the real determiners of success. We cringe when someone tells us the 16 hr days we put in didn’t alter the outcome & it was really just some government handout that got us on top. It’s really a huge philosophical divide that will probably never be breached. [/QUOTE]
