Why do we keep using the terms liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, left and right. The more useful and descriptive terms would be unselfish and selfish.
A true conservative person would want to conserve our environment, our climate, our natural resources, etc. A selfish person doesn’t care as long as they get their share before it‘s all ruined. In the health care debate the selfish, even those with incomes of $400,000, are too selfish to contribute 1% of it to give us a health care system comparable to the rest of the industrialized world.
