The author of this is a typical kid. Idealism is easy when you’re young and don’t have to pay for anything yourself. When you get older, and those ideals start to consume your tax dollars, one’s thoughts begin to change.

Liberalism is more about control over others, feeling superior in that they can choose what is best for others because the “simple” people in life don’t really know what they want. It is pure arrogance, and kids tend to be full of arrogance.

Liberalism or “Classical Liberalism” used to be about limiting government intrusion into citizen’s inherent liberties. That was until it was co-opted by Communists in the middle of the 20th century.
