Liberals and Conservatives
- Share via
With all the confusion about liberal vs. conservative I think I have finally found the essential difference. Both philosophies consider the common man a fool. The difference is that the liberal wants big government to act as man’s protector while the conservative wants government out of the way so as to make a profit off him.
