What do liberals believe? - - MSNBC.com: "Government is required to balance unfairness and excess of private business interests. Examples-environmental regulation, minimum wage, worker safety laws. Conservative arguments which have distorted progressive taxation, weakened regulation of big business, and weakened rights of labor have resulted in corruption of big business and and unhealthy gap between rich and poor. As Warren Buffet says, 'there has been class warfare in recent decades and the rich are winning.'
Government is uniquely qualified to provide for certain needs of a society-examples public schools, most kinds of health care, public transportation, public safety, public parks and recreation areas. Conservative arguments weakening government have resulted in the U.S. falling behind other countries in most of these areas.
One of government's roles is the protection of minorities with regard to certain basic rights. Examples-civil rights legislation and laws protecting gays and lesbians."
