Here is a real quick test to see if you are a conservative or a Liberal. See how many of these you agree with:
· Every citizen willing to work and capable of working shall receive a just and living annual wage which will enable him to maintain and educate his family
· I believe in nationalizing those public necessities which by their very nature are too important to be held in the control of private individuals
· I believe in upholding the right of private property yet of controlling it for the public good.
· I believe not only in the right of the working man to organize in unions but also in the duty of the government which the working man supports to protect the unions against the vested interests of the wealthy
· I believe in the event of war and for the defense of our nation and its liberties, if there shall be a conscription of men there should also be a conscription of wealth
· I believe in preferring the sanctity of human rights to the sanctity of property rights.
· I believe that the chief concern of government shall be the poor, because, as is witnessed, the rich have ample means of their own to care for themselves.
If you agree with more than one of those, you are a liberal. Do not worry it can be cured.
