304. Interesting contradiction

I had a poli. sci. professor that would have disagreed with you wholeheartedly on your last point. He was a very active Democrat, by the way. He taught that the belief of the liberal was that people were inherently evil, and would not take care of their fellow man. Therefore, gov't must step in and provide for the underpriviledged, by taking from those of wealth.

Conservatives believe that man is good, by nature, and that the community will take care of it's poor, provided that it has enough resources to do so.
