Exactly - it is called personal responsibility.
Why does this simple concept escape so many people - most especialy why does it escape those here at FR?????
That's a really good question. How can you call yourself a conservative and not believe in a free market in which an employer and an employee negotiate a contract for salary and benefits without the government or anyone else sticking their nose in it? To me, this is so at the core of conservatism that I don't understand how you can believe otherwise and be anything other than a liberal.
