Quote:Honest question,

 

I believe in the past you called yourself a socialist more then anything correct? What do you consider conservative economics?

I do have socialist ideals on some things. The New Deal was the biggest socialist program in all of history, and it's done more good for people then bad. I've always thought welfare was a good thing to have for the greater good, but we need a better system in place to limit abuse.


Conservative economics....I used to own my own trucking company. Made lot's of money, but I had to spend so much money or I got the crap taxed out of me. I didn't, nor do I think, that's exactly fair. I had to buy a new pickup that I didn't really want, because I needed to use it as a tax write off.


I'm all for a flat tax, where everyone pays the same. I'm for eliminating government agencies that are not needed, or can be folded into another unit. I think we need to eliminate excessive spending, and that's where it gets muddy.


I was raised a neo conservative militia member, did my Military service, and now am a retired guy who is very much more liberal and socialist in ways.
