Conservative: "I've got something better than that." He takes out a pen and a business card. "Clean yourself up and go to this address tomorrow morning and I'll give you a job."
Liberal: "Why, that's terrible! You must be the victim of an unequal, oppressive class system." He runs after the conservative, mugs him, steals $100, keeps 90 of it and gives 10 to the bum and says "Don't worry. There's more where that came from."
Libertarian: "Not my problem, bud," he says and keeps walking.
Yes, that’s the myopic view of (L) most have (Hmmm, I wonder if the 2 party cartel gang-up may have any founding of those baseless accusations?).
In your instance, yes, the Liberal would do nothing to actually help, the (C) would still be feckless and meek, but the (L) would not stand by to watch the Rights (assault and theft...especially by govt) of the (C) in that way: It WOULD be his problem.
