Let me give you an example: economics.
Conservatives believe that by cutting taxes (mostly for the rich), deregulating the economy, and cutting social programs for the working poor, you can increase the rate of growth. This is basically SUPPLY SIDE economics as seen under Reagan and Bush Jr.
Liberals believe that by shifting taxes to those who can most afford it (the rich), creating laws that protect workers, consumers, and citizens from corporate abuse and fraud, and creating programs that help people help themselves (GI BIl, state subsidized universities, job training, etc) we can increase the size of the middle class and create even more growth. This is basically KEYNESIAN economics as seen under FDR, JFK, LBJ, and Clinton.
Who is right? Who has the facts on their side? See for yourself.
