Knowing (or not knowing) that the free market is imperfect, why do conservatives cry socialism?

It isn't seen as immoral, just a utopia that is not affordable. People are greedy, we work all day long and want to keep all the money that we earn for ourselves to help provide for our own old age and for our children to get educated to the best of their abilities. They don't want to earn a wage only to give it all to the government as tax.

There is a limit to the amount of tax people are wiling to pay. If people will only pay a certain amount of tax then the government only has a certain income with which to pay for stuff. If you spend too much then you have to borrow money - same as any business or person.

There is a choice then, borrow an unafordable amount to provide a the best safety net for everyone, or limit the amount of support that you can give to people and make that affordable. The Conservatives are choosing to make things affordable to the government - and then so affordable to us. This helps us all out because we can for example afford to pay for a private pension (state pensions of course were eroded by the labour government) It is not about their morals - no politician has any, it is all about being elected and having a job after the next election for all politicians.

Give me more money in my pocket, I will vote or you. Take it away from me and I will vote for someone else. Simple - I am as greedy as he next man.

We don't think helping people is immoral. We do think it's immoral when you ostracize and overtax someone just because they're richer than you. But in regards to the socialism system, we think it is wrong in the United States because the Constitution doesn't give us this made up "right" to healthcare, welfare, etc. The Federal government's power is limited strictly to that which is in the Constitution.

Anything not listed in the Constitution is delegated to the states according to the 14th Amendment. So, social programs run by the federal government are anticonstitutional. However, (and this is where I would disagree with my neocon Republican friends) a state that wants to have it's own welfare programs is perfectly fine as long as their state constitution permits it.

So, I don't really have a problem with Romneycare, and I actually think that is how every state should do it if they want to have free healthcare.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
