In America, liberals believe that the role of government is to tax the rich, using the revenue to coerce the poor into standing in lines and filling out forms.

Conservatives take a more compassionate approach. They believe the government should tax the poor, using the revenues to fund the military. Then the poor will join the military, where they can voluntarily stand in lines and fill out forms.
