This I will copy and paste, because I can say it no better myself:
"They get stuck on these percentages and they get stuck on the size of a tax cut, and they say, well, somebody making $400,000 a year gets a tax cut of $4,000, and somebody making $16,000 gets a tax cuts of $250. How's that fair? Somebody gets $4,000 and they don't need it. They don't need it. That's nobody's job to tell you who and what you don't need, especially not the government's. And that's what they focus on and everybody gets sidetracked."
Think on this: You are wealthy, you're paying massive quantities of taxes and why? Because you're wealthy? Listen, man, rich people are entitled only to the same government protection that poor people are. Pursuit of happiness, life and liberty, speedy trial, etc. so why then do they pay more taxes?
The truth is, just because someone has more it doesn't mean they should have to forfeit more. Everyone should have to do equal because everybody is getting an equal share from the deal. We all still only get one wall and we're all working together to build it. Of course the strong people pitch in and do more, they're good people. But now we've got the person in the wheelchair saying that he wants to do even less and that the strong man should do even more than he's already doing because why? Because the man in the wheelchair feels like he's doing too much?
This is the problem. This is where we move toward communism. Some have, some do not. Some are strong, some are weak. We all get by and we earn what we earn with whatever intelligence or brilliance we're given. The spread of communism, socialism and whatever liberal mentality says that the strong man should do all of the work to make it equal for the weak men and then the strong man should get no reward for doing so because, well, he's stronger naturally. Why does he deserve extra compensation?
So we've got some doing less, some doing more (those who are better) and those who do less complaining because those who do more have more. It's unfair, it's evil and it's crippling to a society. Let the rich be rich, I don't care! I wish them luck! Let the poor, likewise, be poor.
The difference is:
A conservative believes we can teach a man to fish so he can fish for himself. Some fisherman catch more than others and have more fish as a result.
A liberal believes that it is an unfair label to say that some people are "better" at fishing because all people are equal although some are challenged in some areas, which is to say that all of mankind must band together to help these poor, unfortunate bad fisherman by giving them fish daily and catering to their every whim.
