I don't understand where this myth comes from that liberals want the gov to tax and regulate everything. Democrats of all people don't push that. Hell if they did they would make much less money.Their overly emotional philosophy on the role of government blinds them in seeing it realistically and critically.
I found that opening statements particularly humorous because if there is one thing that truly defines a Liberal it is a profound emotional connection to government and it's role in our lives. Liberals want government to regulate everything, tax everything and everyone that makes any money and otherwise be our nanny from womb to tomb. Liberals seems to have a sincere desire to improve the lives of poor people but they erroneously believe the government is the best way to help the poor. That has been proven to be a spectacular failure given the introduction of LBJs "The Great Society" in 1964. Look at any measure of quality of life for poor people in America since 1964 and it is down, down down.
I want a moderately regulated market. I want people to be taxed based on their income. That's it.
