I always pick my liberal relatives brains and find some interesting insights and occasionally teach a lesson.
They think almost exclusively in terms of rich vs poor and can’t understand how both rich and poor people can live harmoniously in my little town with virtually no crime.
The answer is simple conservative values. I’m happy with what I have and I don’t feel that my wealthier neighbors owe me anything. My wealthier neighbors are happy with what they have and know I’m not taking anything from them.
Its kind of funny that we conservatives achieve the harmony that liberals believe can only come with the help of government equally distributing wealth. All it would take for them to be happy, is to realize that they don’t need equal wealth.
Agreed. There’s quite a mix of poor and moderately wealthy in my very sparsely populated and remote area, too. Can’t say that most of them are very friendly, but some of us are working on that. Coveting is a waste of time and government resources.
