have your cake and eat it too

"I consider myself socially liberal, but fiscally conservative." that sounds like "i'd like to have all the socially feel good programs like good public schools, homeless shelters and stuff. but i don't want to give up any of my money." well then, i guess i'm also socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. that'd sure be cool if those socially liberal things happened and i had all my money. but that's not realistic. where does the money for being socially liberal come from if not from liberal taxes? you can't pick and choose the nice things of different ideals. they are a complete package, which is why there exists so much discussion about them.

that is my rant. just remembered discussion from long ago (years) and crystallized the response.

posting without reviewing, yeah!
