I truly wish, with the bottom of my heart that conservative side would stop focusing on the social aspects of the government and focus on the economic aspects, and how to better rebuild/manage. This goes for every country.

That's not wise. Economy has a limit, social aspects have not. When the country is what people call "economic stable", it should focus on the social aspects.

The social drives the economical, not the other way around. You can have a country of wealthy people, if they have no education, no health, no security, no freedom of expression, no freedom of thought, all of that money means nothing. There will always be civil wars. People wanting rights, laws, things that money can't buy.

The big problem is this. People always think that they know what is more important. Money, or job, or family, or church or whatever and the list goes on. People think they know how to achieve freedom but in the path to freedom they deny someone elses'.

So yeah, countries should focus on the economic aspect until it is stable. Meaning that corruption is low, poverty rate is low and the GINI coefficient is low. After that, socialize the wealth. There's no point in having 300 houses and 200 cars while others can't have a decent meal at launch.

Also, take a look at how the social aspects of the world are right now. People killing each other because of creed, money, and desperation. To focus on economy right now, in a wealthy country like the USA, or Canada, or Sweden or Germany for instance, is just wrong.

I get that there's no point in dieing of starvation in south Egypt while you respect others opinions, but it's equally idiotic having two mansions and trying to kill your neighboor because he's a catholic and you're a protestant.

I am a bit worried for the future, namely since our nations are about to hit retirement baby boomer age. I just value a more balance approach namely from the conservative side of the parties, I don't want them to be concerned with taking away the rights or trying to start new battles that they will not win. 

Again it is just the cutting taxes part that gets to me. Namely since a lot of the cuts go for the top, not the bottom. I also do not want to raise the minimum wage to lets say $15 dollars an hour, mind you. 

However I do understand that you have to invest in the future, and do not get me wrong about that.
