Look what natural disaster like the last hurricane can accomplish,
"the government is there for you, dont panik" how would you call this?

I would call this liberalism. People shouldn't HAVE to depend on Govt. They should be able to fend for themselves. BUT, Govt should be there for you during those unexpected times of trouble.

No one is expecting the poor to drive expensive cars. What conservatives want are programs to empower the poor to make THEMSELVES not poor. Not have them sponge off the govt.

Katrina was a great example of this. A liberal local and state govt.....what do they have? A way above average poverty rate. People dependent on govt. to save them unable to save themselves.

If the government had stayed out of the whole hurricane mess it would have turned out a lot better.

Give a man a fish he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish he eats the rest of his life.

Get it.
