Some politics on Election Day…
Kudos to Michelle Caruso-Cabrera for writing the following passage in her article Here’s the Real Reason Independents Have Turned Against the Democrats - Yahoo! Finance.
”Yet, for decades the choice has been either A.) a party that didn’t want to overtax me, but seemed awfully concerned about what happens in people bedrooms, or B.) a party that was far more tolerant on social issues but loved spending taxpayer money to ‘fix’ things.”
She’s describing our two options for government. Neither option aligns with her definition of an “Independent,” which she defines as “fiscally-conservative, yet socially-liberal.” I suppose that’s why these voters are in fact called “Independents.” But why are we Independents (yes I said “we”) forced to choose between options A or B? It’s not like being fiscally-conservative is synonymous with having conservative social values. Likewise, it’s not like being socially-liberal equates to wanting more government.
Anyone have any better options?
