I recently read the first few chapters of Neal Boortz book. He talks about how liberals are irrational and emotional and conservatives are fact based and logical, but his book is very emotional when it comes to money. Like the government taxing people is like stealing or something, or the equivalent to getting robbed at gunpoint.
It seems conservatives are only emotional about money (mostly rich people's money). Don't they have any perspective on the fact that taxes pay for a police force and mililtary that protects them and their loved ones, or builds roads that they drive on every day? They're constantly complaining that government has no right to take their money, but where did they get the money in the first place? The acquired the money because they live in a country where accumulation of wealth is allowed in the first place.
The saying, "I love america but I hate the government" can only go so far.
