Liberal: Hello HFCSM.  Would you blow a man to end world hunger?

HFCSM (honest and blunt): Honestly, I wouldn't end world hunger even if I didn't have to blow a man.  Ending world hunger would cost a lot of tax money from the rich globalists.  Cutting taxes means some people are going to have to starve, and I'm ok with that.  I don't want to pay for other people's kids; that's socialist!  God bless Big Tech.

If you disagree with HFCSM, that's fine, but then don't call yourself fiscal conservative; because that's logically what fiscal conservatism means.

Lower taxes means less money for the poor which means poor children starve.

If you're fine with that, alright, but if you're not; don't call yourself fiscally conservative, because you are not.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  Just come as advertised and if you call yourself fiscally conservative, just make sure you understand what that means.

I don't like it when people write blank checks and falsely advertise their political ideology.  Just be honest!

Feeding everyone would just make them more apathetic than they already are.

If you are fine with children dying in order to give globalist elitist silicon valley overlords a tax cut, fine.  But just be upfront with that.

Thing is though.

The rich need the poor as much as the poor need the rich.

So keeping the poor fed is the pay off for them wiping the rich persons arse.

Metaphorically speaking.

It depends on the issue.  I see issue stances like coin flips; if you flip a fair coin 79x, you should expect about 39.5 heads (left beliefs) and 39.5 tails (right beliefs).  So E(x)=39 and the SD(x)=4.2, the 95% CI is (31.1, 47.9) heads and tails (separately), meaning if people came to their own conclusions, 95% of the US population would have between 31.1 and 47.9 left and right wing beliefs.  For me, the number of left wing and right wing beliefs I have is 36 and 43 respectively.  This is 5/6 SDs above the mean, so if people actually came to their own conclusions on issues (because the left and the right have arbitrary combinations of beliefs under their party's banner), I would be more right wing than about 80% of the US population, so if people actually came to their own conclusions, you could argue I was far right if these are your definitions for far/center left/right:

Far left: More right wing than up to 25% of the US population.
Center left: More right wing than between 25% and 50% of the US population.
Center right: More right wing than between 50% and 75% of the US population.
Far right: More right wing than between 75% and 100% of the US population.

(assuming normal distribution for political beliefs and assuming every belief is 50/50).

But because society is very polarized,this isn't reality as pretty much everyone either has less than 10 heads or more than 69 heads.

Nor me.

Though if everything was equal, who would do all the dirty work?
