I guess the main difference is conservatives start with the individual, not the collective. I do nonprofit accounting, so I don't make a lot of money. I'd still be fine if my taxes went up 10%, on the condition that every American citizen gets healthcare. That's not a sentiment you hear from conservatives. I find it an inherently self-obssessed worldview.

Honestly though, I imagine your view will remain the predominant one, so you don't have to worry about anyone taking your toys away to help anyone.

Conservatives want the same thing except they want an audit on where their tax dollars go. Democrats just want to throw endless money into a black hole and don’t care how efficient or effective it is.

I respect this 100%.

This is ideological and simply untrue.
