What is the difference between a liberal and a conservative?

     It is not difficult to understand the difference between liberals and conservatives.  The key difference is how each of them view the economic pie.

     Liberals believe the pie is a fixed size. Therefore, the debate is over who gets the biggest slice. Conservatives, on the other hand, believe the best way to increase the size of each slice is to increase the size of the pie.

     Hence, conservatives focus on legislation that will make a bigger pie, and liberals focus on legislation that will increase the size of their own slice.

     When you hear a Washington official talk, listen carefully. Does the speaker want to make a bigger pie, or take more from your slice?

     Which would you prefer?
