The American people are in bondage to the state. I want a much, much smaller federal government and state government. Last I checked, that was "conservative". The American sheeple in general don't have a problem with the income tax or its associated violations of rights, or they think it's their "duty" to pay as the "price" of citizenship. Those people are content in their bondage.
Lots of people are living off the largess of the income tax, and are happy to be house slaves.
Our nation was once great. It is headed for the same fate as Europe, as a post-Christian socialist hell hole. The sheeple are too stupid, immoral, or fat and lazy to do anything about it. Many actually want that and want to be in the vanguard of Christian-hunters/killers.
Reagan talked about the income tax and welfare and don't care a damn about limited government and following the constitution. Those things are what Americans want today. If they didn't, the libertarian and/or Constitution party would be much bigger than they are.
Half of Americans actively support the communists/socialists in the Democrat party.
Just because I don't agree with you, doesn't mean I'm a liberal or a Democrat. Just more of a misanthropic pessimist, maybe.
