Change

What this country needs is a new perspective on women in the workplace, with child care subsidies, and a GI bill for parenthood that awards tuition or pension credits for years spent raising kids. We need universal health insurance. And wage subsidies for low-income workers. We should leave illegal immigrants alone, but crack down on the companies that hire them. And no American household earning less than $100,000 a year should have to pay income taxes.

And these are the ideas from the conservatives.

UPDATE: Oops. A cursory search shows that lots of other people wrote about this already. Which shouldn't be surprising, seeing as it's dated November 14. Looking back, I read some of those posts, but never the whole article. But ... er ... you should.

Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if it came from Weekly Standard. People do make a lot of assumptions about libertarians, classical liberals and conservatives that are just wrong though. I do know libertarians who believe that an oligopolistic economy is a half-way house on our road to serfdom...
