Conservatism

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006), respected economist

What do all Conservatives have in common? Every one of them has money and every one of them aims to justify not having to give any away. They shouldn't have to sacrifice any part of their little slices of Heaven.

Our hoarding of money is getting us nowhere. Responsibility, not conservatism.

I should clarify that I was referring to fiscal conservatism. There are those in the pit of financial despair who lean to the right end of the spectrum for religious and/or patriotic reasons... that's an entire story on its own.
