I'm happy with my own values being Conservative in nature.
I believe in low taxation, strong will to succeed and pro business minded, strong private sector in health and schools where user pays system provides best delivery.
I am anti nationalised companies because I think Governments are wasteful.
My view is you will spend your money much better than any Government will.
You want something, you should pay for it so lower taxes and give people more.
I never needed Governments to tell me what to do or provide me anything.
I think people should get out there and help themselves.
Conservatives encourage that. Others always want to help bloody low life's!!!
I'm happy with my own values being Socialist in nature.
I believe in fair taxation and not dishonestly seeking to avoid paying tax at every turn, and that a co-operative minded community is far stronger and more prosperous then one that is fractured by the incessant conflicts inevitably brought on by the greedy few always insisting that they deserve more and that the rest deserve less. I believe in a strong well funded public universal health and education scheme where we all pay (user pays in the real sense of that expression) to deliver the best health and education outcomes for all instead of just for the privileged few.
I am anti privatisation and pro govt enterprise because I believe that in comparison private enterprise is less innovative, less efficient, produces shoddy goods and services, conducts itself far more destructively, is incredibly wasteful and unaccountable and often is highly dependent on govt welfare in the form of govt handouts, lower tax rates and copious tax lurks.
My view is that although you personally will spend your money much better than any Government will, businesses, especially since they're unaccountable to the rest of us, will always spend their money more wastefully then govts, only of course they can hide it better. We want something, we have to work for it and then make sure that we get the benefit of the work we do instead of the cream and lions share of our work going to someone else. That way the profits go back to us instead of a few so that we pay less tax and give the people more.
We don't need these corporate Nannies to dictate our lives and tell us what to do. We can do it ourselves.
Socialists encourage that. Conservatives always want to help bloody low life's!!!
