How can someone be socially liberal and fiscally conservative? To me that says that they agree we need to change how we treat our fellow man and not worry so much about corporations, however, funding such programs is impossible because "fiscal responsibility" is code words for lower taxes. If it is right socially, we need to do it...period
I'm a socially liberal because I want everyone to be free in society and not be judged for what they are
I'm fiscally conservative because I don't think anyone has the duty to support anyone else.
