If you're 20 and conservative, you have no heart. If you're 40 and liberal, you have no brain.



I'm bout 40 and liberal on social issues. :/



Regarding the OP link,

I have a problem with the first quad:

Democrats are economically restrictive. Left wing economics is authoritarian. This is a secret the left will protect with all the twisting of logic possible. Much like the repugs say "we are socially restrictive for the good of the whole!", the democrats say "we are restrictive economically for the good of the whole!". Dems will go as far as to say that left wing economic policy is actually liberal because it "frees" the general society (again, same thing repubs say about social issues).

Fact of the matter is, left wing economic policy is authoritarian - and no left-wing analysis ever shows this.



I have a problem with the second graphic:

People do not get more economically restrictive (advocating higher taxes and business regulations) as they enter their most productive years economically. That's just wrong. After a certain age, looking for medicare and social security might temper this; however, people become more economically permissive (less taxes and less regulations) as they begin to actually make some money. According to this graphic, 18 year olds are more economically liberal than a 30 year old. BS.



Already, we have two graphics (the first two) that are completely fkd by not recognizing left-wing economic policy as restrictive/authoritative. I'm not bothering with the rest. The article has a failed fundamental premise.
