What is the best way to estimate the size of each group as a percentage of all liberals:
a.) liberals who just want more than they can afford
b.) liberals who can and do pay more than their share because they genuinely believe in the cause

Doesn't it seem that way?
candidate - "we will give you free food"
liberal - "yeah free food, Im voting for you"
Candidate - "we will give you free money"
Liberal - "yeah free money, I am voting for you"
after elections
candidate - "what do you mean, didnt you understand, we meant we would take away from you first, THEN you would maybe qualify for free food and money" "Sucks for you, but its for the "common good""

Liberals actually pay attention to politics, or they wouldn't call themselves "liberal". Most people that do find time to pay attention aren't the ones who want "free stuff". I'd have to go with a small percent, but then again.. Who doesn't want free stuff?? Even the rich will take it for free.. See Paris Hilton at the bar.

a) Get a number of all liberals and determine the cieling income, for example 30k annual.
b) Get the number of millionare liberals who give away the MASS of their fortune to those they think need it. And I literally mean the MASS. Someone who earns 1 million per year and gives away $950,000.oo of it.
While the poor liberals want free stuff, the rich liberals want to make money off the federalized purchase of medication and other goods from companies the rich liberals invest in.

How is it "free stuff" if we pay taxes?
It is in fact the function of government to provide for people.
You will never hear a "Conservative" (who conserve nothing) say one bad thing about corporations. It's always "big gubment" that is the problem. Corporations in fact work for PROFITS only and care nothing about the middle-class, wage increases (which cut into their profits), public health, the environment, or anything else. They totally corrupt oiur government, sicken us with poison food laden with chemicals pesticides and hormones, ruin our environment with tracking and RoundUp, and price-gouging with medicines tests and procedures designed to keep us sick and bankrupt us all for their never-enough obscene PROFITS. The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to support and protect this insane system.
The completely astounding fact is that "Conservatives" continues to vote against their self-interest because they are conned by fake issues like gay marriage, immigration, abortion, etc. designed to rile them up for votes.

i do now not qualify for any of the unfastened stuff the taxes I pay will supply, so i flow to flow without. people who're prepared to pay taxes for the amenities, are not needing unfastened stuff. yet once you desire to be sure somebody who needs unfastened stuff, seem on the individuals who desire valuable roads, subsidies for oil companies, and a huge military, conflict, and policing morals, whilst needing tax cuts on the comparable time. this is needing some thing for unfastened. Its a petty top-wing delusion that liberals do now not pay taxes to.

Those two categories could could describe moderates as well as conservatives, as well. We had a budget surplus under Clinton, we have a huge deficit under Bush.A & B are not necessarily exclusive, if you think about it.
Liberalism has little to do with "free stuff". It is more about egalitarianism and compassion for the less fortunate.
Conservatives are into "free stuff" too. Isn't resource extraction on public lands free stuff? How about farm subsidies?

Life is not a raffle ticket. Most people rich or poor want free things. That's just human nature. Most people provide for themselves. I think B. is the best description of a liberal.

Liberals just want free stuff. Conservatives give more to charity out of their own good will than greedy liberals. This is a fact.

Liberals want free stuff, and they want the tax payers to pay for it. I've met about the same number of hard working liberals as Unicorns.
God Bless America!

Wow excellent question, the obvious answer is 100% A. I seriously doubt there are any B's. As we all know the rich dems find as many tax loops as possible and the rich conservatives give more to charity.
