    Conservative, n. A statesman enamored of existing evils, as opposed to a Liberal, who wants to replace them with others.

    Conservative.


    A self-centered person who thinks only he is entitled to whatever he sows.  No one else is responsible for all that hard work and effort he puts into his work.  Even though his work would not be possible without the rest of society, he thinks it all belongs to him and does not want to be taxed when it means sharing the bounty with those less fortunate who may not have had the advantages bunghole had growing up.

    Nonsense. Conservatives are well aware that all economies depend on individuals cooperating with other individuals. You delusionally think that "society" does this. There are just individuals interacting with other individuals. Some individuals contribute more to society than others. Some people do nothing.

    I'm well aware that I couldn't operate without others. Though they also couldn't operate without me. So I don't owe them anything because the debt cancels out.

    You talk as if paying taxes is only way people contribute to society. Obviously people contribute simply by working and consuming.

    You talk as if everyone does their job for free and we all owe each other. That's not true. They were paid in proportion to their contribution. The debt has been settled already.

    Conservatives are more than willing to give generously to those less fortunate. Though one inspires generosity by showing some gratitude and not by being an entitled **** who thinks they're owed something.
