Does being probigbusiness, giving handouts to corporations, deregulating and allowing them to 'teach' people all around the world how to fish by outsourcing jobs help the American citizens?

scorebord; if that's true, then tell your conservative representatives to stop cornering markets, forming monopolies and giving them every advantage to kill small business and squeeze the consumer.--ANd tell them to stop writing our laws and buying our policies.
By the way, your answer makes just about NO sense.

Is there such a thing as teaching to choose?

And I don't know how many opportunities you think the probigbusinesscorporate mindset allows people. Get used to being poor and in debt is more the drill of today, and also working two or three jobs!

well, you tell me. Productivity has gone up 33% over the last decade, yet wages have only increased 11%. This is there way of telling us "get used to being poor". They are phasing out the middle class.
Ok critter, just how is our current government being small, and staying out of it? How are they being "limited"?

We believe that everyone has an equal chance, and that it is up to them to make the decisions. Not all of us, like me, like outsourcing, but this country is changing and has been for years, where factory jobs barely cut it anymore. It is not a conservatives fault, or liberals, it is just the way this country is going, forced to help other countries, with almost everything. They teach people how to fish, by not giving them anything directly but by rather giving them opportunities. That is why conservatives are usually known as the "hard working" view, because we believe everyone has a chance to make it big, and would love to see such happen. Thus, we teach fishing, by allowing a person to choose whether or not they want to learn. We are not all pro-big business, but if it succeeds, we are not going to stop it, that is against our principals. I actually prefer to see the small business succeed better than the big business.

Use the Katrina victims as an example. (only because this tragedy is current in our minds) . These people have been hand fed all their lives with government checks and services , at NO time have they become self sufficient. The Democratic party believes that increasing the welfare state is helpful.( gets more votes) After witnessing the human inadequacy of self help the Dem's should be embarrassed by there lack of humanity.. They created this scenario.The Republicans on the other hand offer job fairs, job training and job placement..... Guess how many showed..... hardly any .. And how many people were effected by Katrina? So its not the Republicans that are giving handouts, but it is the Republican Party that is trying "to teach"the uneducated, and unemployed to " fish" , another words to be self sufficient..

That's just one of the glib no-content slogans that the Republican pollsters found tested well in fooling the public into thinking that they were doing the opposite of what they were really doing. It goes with the 'welfare-queen' definition of a welfare recipient, when the true majority of people on welfare are suffering from catastrophic health expenses and an inability to work due to health.
It is used to cut spending for the poor. Flat out.
It is like the Clear skies initiative, that delayed for years the implementation of laws that would have cleared the air.
Or the Healthy Forests initiative that permitted clear-cutting on government protected land.

It's "survival of the fittist" There are those that can over come the adversity and "learn"; the fittist. Which is why social reform was formed, the labor movement, for better wages, 40hr week, better working conditions. and raise minimun age of employment, and safety for workers, and of course finally Civil Rights. We have been down this road before, present government policies are old policies revived. Mr Bush The History Major????

True conservatives just want the federal government to not interfere. No regulations, no subsidies, low taxes, etc.
Allow the market to work, because it does, as our current system proves every day. As good as things are, just imagine how great they could be if we get rid of all the current restrictions and interference.
Outsourcing is a result of unions inflating wages. Why pay a union worker $20 an hour to make a $0.50 trinket, when you can pay a foreigner $3 an hour. Supply and demand works, unions disrupt that and force companies to ship jobs overseas to cut costs. Thanks Democrats.
If anybody had ever read the Constitution, they would see that the founding fathers wanted a limited government.

Because the lower to lower middle class, in order to feed their families, will eventually have to buy fishing rods and tackle with their $300 tax rebate checks and hope for a big'un.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; tell a man to fish, he'll starve to death; but teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.
Now tell me, where do those descriptions sound familiar?
