EPISODE 639: How conservatives and liberals view the economy

Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior     Thursday September 29th, 2016

Most conservatives look at the money people make and spend as their money and are free to spend it however they like. Freedom and liberty are at the heart of free market capitalism. When people fail, they fail and I hope they learn from their failures. When people succeed, then that should be celebrated!!!

Most liberals on the other hand look at your money as not your own but as the communities money, or the states money. Liberals believe they should have a say in how your money is spent. Most liberals believe that if you are rich, you didn’t get that way on your own, so you owe society a piece of your pie as it were.

Most liberals take a command and control approach to the US economy, because they truly believe they can spend your money better than you can, and will take steps to make that happen through taxes and redistribution of wealth!!!

Most conservatives believe in free markets and the liberty of the people to spend the money as they see fit, and recognize the reality that it is the consumer not the government that drives an economy!!! The more free an economy is the more prosperity there is and everyone who chooses to participates through hard work and determination are the ones who benefits!!!

Daily Bible reading: Psa 146:1-10 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! 2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. 5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign forever— Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

Quotemeal: “A sacred regard to the authority of God ought to lead us to reject an error, however old, sanctioned by whatever authority, or however generally practiced.” — Charles H. Spurgeon

Hello, my name is Dan Clements, and I host a live show every Friday from 12 noon-1pm ET every week. I also record a daily show that is posted in the afternoon. It's called The Dan Clements Show on YouTube and on my show page. The Dan Clements Show is a Christian/political talk show where we talk about the issues of the day from a Christian point of view. We cover all topics of a political nature, and sometimes some topics that are not. I try to keep the show lite, engaging, and easy to understand. I want people to come away from my show knowing that they have learned something new, or how to look at an issue from a different point of view. So please come and be apart of the conversation. I also upload 1-3 short videos Monday - Thursday, so be on the lookout for those videos as well!!! I'm a veteran of the US Navy and the Army National Guard. I have been married to my wonderful wife Lori for almost 32 years and have 2 children. I love my God and my country and am working hard to teach the truth about both.
