Most people are either Fiscal Liberals or Conservatives, AND either Social Liberals or Conservatives. Which group has what traits, the MOST JUSTICE, and the best chance to create stronger people, given the refusal of the elites in power to change?
Fiscal Liberals & Social Liberals: “It’s My choice of behaviors, but I expect the tax base to be forced to pay for the results of my free will choices.” = creates weaker, hedonistic people who think others should pay, low level of Justice since there are less financial consequences for the choosers. It’s easy for intelligent people to see how they are screwing themselves, but they keep insisting others should pay.
Fiscal Liberals & Social Conservatives: “I’m avoiding the liberal behaviors that lead to the dependency that affects so many weaker people, but because I was raised with strong moral values, I’m well off morally and financially, and I love the media content too much to stop giving them my money, I’ll just keep voting to throw the poor a financial bone so they stay away from my safe neighborhood, as the social fabric slowly deteriorates. Kick the can down the road. All my life I’ve believed in ‘give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish and he eats for a lifetime,’ but it’s easier to raise taxes than give up the media content that I love so much.” As the stronger self-sufficient social conservatives die off, the society gets weaker, Justice is neutral since social conservatives would rather pay more taxes rather than teach the weak to be successful social conservatives.
Fiscal Conservatives & Social Liberals: “They should be free to choose whatever behavior they want, but don’t expect me to pay for it, because it wouldn’t be Justice.” This is closer to Libertarianism, allowing social freedoms while forcing financial responsibility for own free will choices, creates stronger peole due to forced financial responsibility and feedback loop for choices.
Fiscal Conservatives & Social Conservatives: “I can see how Social Conservatism creates stronger, more self-sufficient families (and, by extension, local communities), so I should keep more of what I make due to the extreme effort and sacrifices for our individual family as well as the fact that decades of dreams and good intentions by social Liberals have Failed to create less dependency. If my neighbors do the same, we’ll have a great community.”
