You fail to see the other side of the coin. Liberals have raised taxes to levels of insanity, and they have created all those stupid "consumer protection" laws designed to beat down any business that makes a product which a moron could use to hurt himself. Liberals worship price controls, nationalization, redistribution of wealth, and other impractical economic crusades. On economic issues, liberals are utopian socialist crackpots.

The fundamental principle of economic liberalism is that "businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity." If that is not an inversion of reality, I don't know what is.

You know what I actually agree with you that the liberals have supported many stupid programs in their time. Thats one thing that I side with conservatives on. I don't like welfare, special social programs or high taxes.
Unfortunately the Republicans have brought you to the point where if you dont raise taxes at least a little bit China will own you.

Of course I'm only looking at the overall picture because no side is perfect. Overall I see more progress and less failure in terms of advancement of society from the left.
