Socialism is in the eye of the beholder. The US Republican Party had members in favour of the Government bail outs. That was considered socialism by many other conservative groups. I think its hard to stereotype all Conservatives. Just like many people assume all Conservatives are Christian's. Having been a member of the Canadian Conservative Party I have met Sikh's , buddhists, muslim's and agnostics all of whom are Conservatives. Now as for Liberal's being richer, lol the Conservative Government's do more for big buisness then Liberals ever have. All those wealthy oil billionaires all the million dollar film stars Conservatives helped them get rich. At least if your talking Canada, Conservatives dump millions to billions into the oil industry, lumber industry , film industry , game industry. You name it the Conservative Party helped make them rich. I don't think their is any excuse for someone non-Conservative or non-religious not to either serve on a humanitarian team or donate to a charity. I live on less then 12k a year. I live hand to mouth and very modest in a peice of shit appartment. Yet I found a way to go on a humanitarian mission. Now granted I got fired a little while ago so I didn't have to take off work. But even I with such little income and in the position I am in, still was able to contribute by going on a trip. I also donate 10% of my little income. So I don't see all that much of an excuse for anyone. I make about 700$ a month before rent and bills. Yet I could go on a trip, its all about your priorities. Now I understand its very difficult for some to say , you know what I barely make anything but I will donate 10%. Its also very hard for someone who makes very little to say, you know what I will save a chunk of money each cheque to go on a humanitarian mission. Some of my family members were upset with me for spending my money to go on a humanitarian mission, they said I should have saved for a vacation or a car or something for myself. Fact is anyone and everyone can do something to help someone in need, it doesn't matter how poor you are. At least not in North America or most of Europe. If you make more then a dollar a day, then your better off then like half the world. Everyone can help somehow! |
Any social program is an act of socialism. As for the liberals being ricgher than conservatives thing... well, a lot of uneducated religious people are conservatives, and these people tend to be poorer. However, lots of big business owners are conservatives, and this is a very well known fact. You're totally right about the bolded part. Big businesses are a conservative environment, and even Hollywood, which many label as "liberal" is actually quite conservative.
