I see that you mix your "conservatism" with socialism, not having the
guts to drink it straight. Or to put it another way, you are only
willing to apply your moral principles when it's convenient.

It's not socialism in the truest sense.

And that makes it OK?

You are in favor of socialism when you find it convenient for yourself,
and condemn socialism harshly at all other times.

If you find this fact about your beliefs and principles uncomfortable,
maybe you should do some thinking.



Mandating that people save their own money for retirement provides
money for them at no extra cost to the other taxpayers.


In other words, the gov't should force people to save up for a rainy
day, regardless of their income level (in fact, this program mandates
that those with large incomes save less)... just like legislating
morality, you now believe that we should legislate financial judgement &
self-discipline.

Now tell me again, which political party is in favor of not intruding on
people's lives and maintaining Constitutional freedoms?
