Liberal vs. Conservative

Liberals believe that the government should be involved to make sure the poor are taken care of and that everyone has a decent standard of living. They think there should be programs for healthcare and food stamps for the poor so that no one lives below poverty. There should be the separation of church and state and the government should stay out of religious views and how people live their daily lives. Liberals tend to be more accepting and open.

Conservatives believe in limited government control. They think that people are responsible for themselves. They believe in low taxes for everyone and they want to reduce government subsidized programs for the poor, and they don’t believe the wealthy should be taxed more to subsidize programs for the poor. They believe in the right to life. They believe in faith based government programs and prayer in schools.
