Liberal viewpoint: You are rich. You didn't know you were, but you are. You are a policeman making $52,000 a year, your wife is a substitute schoolteacher making $40,000 a year. Your family income is way too much. We are going to take your money from you and give it to the less fortunate. After all, they need it more than you.
Conservative viewpoint: You work hard. You and your wife deserve to keep as much of your money as possible. After all, it's your money. In fact, we should reduce the amount of money we take from you. Then you will spend it on things that improve the economy like a jet ski or a cabin. Then the jet ski industry and the cabin industry will do better, and they will make more money. They will gladly pay a fraction of that money in taxes, since they are doing better. Amazingly, the amount of money the government collects goes up.
