This article shows profound ignorance about politics by both Abbey Heffer and her audience responding to her challenge.
Many conservatives instinctively sense that the bigger government brings more corruption, fewer freedoms, and masses are pushed to live on food stamps, in government-subsidized housing, and on Medicaid, now expanded into Obamacare. We end up with the poor, the billionaires, and the disappearing middle class.
I know that many disapprove when people post links to their articles when commenting. But is it my fault that, a long time ago, I wrote answers to the questions that Ms. Heffer brings up in her article?
I suggest checking why the compromise is not possible: “Capitalism, socialism and communism” and about the only meaningful choice we all have: “Capitalism versus socialism.”
