I get frustrated when conservatives bitch about how liberals just want to spend their money, particularly conservatives in the lower and middle classes, who benefit directly every day of their frigging lives from ideas that sprang from the minds of people who cared about their grandparents and great-grandparents when no one else did. Liberal ideology doesn't just spring forth in spite of a just and adequately functioning society. It originates in the void created by injustice, greed, corruption and an unworkable quality of life for the least empowered in our society.
