I'm starting to get into conservatism, but there's one thing I don't understand
If conservatism is about self responsibility and a lack of government handouts, why do conservatives support corporate welfare in the form of large tax cuts and the ability for corporations to make use of the services of the government almost for free? Corporations tend to be a net drain on Federal coffers.
I'm sure you guys have an excellent explanation for why I'm wrong, but you also might just be mentally retarded ideologues who just don't want to pay taxes but also simultaneously want the government to protect you and provide you with the countless services it performs which you always overlook
Jose Sanders
B-b-b-ecause it m-m-otivates the corporate and they will h-h-hire more people.
These anarcho capitalists will feed you some BS. Stay away from them. They're delusional fucktwats just like Commies and SJWs.
Samuel Taylor

Julian Miller
Nobody defends that. Massive corporations are in bed with the left, not the right. Look at how Google and FB push a leftist agenda.
Ayden Jones
> Lower tax rates = more companies relocating there
> Companies that save money have more money to invest = innovation
I do not believe in government bailouts for private corporations, that's completely against the belief of Capitalism. I also don't know what you're referring to when you talk about "services of the government" that drain our Federal coffers, please elaborate.

If the government disappeared the stock market would immediately collapse, not enter a bull market. Can you explain this?
Corporations need the government because their customers need the government because without a government they would have to purchase services from corporations performing the same role as the government, essentially just a new government. Governments are essential, they are emergent in all human endeavors, yet conservatives want to be able to leach off of the government's economic playing board without contributing back to it proportionally as much as customers do

Because neoconservativism is literally subhuman in every regard, but it's still the gateway to fascism and the thoughts that build civilization itself. You have to come to terms with the fact that the average conservative could quite easily be dumber than a leftist.
Jace Martinez
USA has one of the highest corporate tax rates, and as a consequence US corporations end up doing business elsewhere. If you want to stimulate growth, one thing you can do is make the business environment attractive to investment.
Julian Hill
post modern liberalism is pure moderate communism, now called socialism combined with modern ultra capitalism free market, and twinkle spread some conservative fundamentalist values to prevent immediate corruption and tyranny.
And that is real socialism, socialism is the result of a two axis system based on communism and -any other system. for both systems to compensate their flaws and create the moderate left, or central right for some...

That's not what Conservatism is, dumb ass. Establishment Neoconservatism is what you're talking about.
Conservatism is about limited government and free markets, not big-government corporatism.
Just because some globalist kikes call themselves conservative doesn't mean they actually hold conservative beliefs.
It's like "Christians" who do absolutely nothing Christian.

Fair enough user you may be completely right in fact I'm sure of it, there are definitely a million shades of conservatism and some of them are more retarded than others
But all of you special shades of conservatism still voted for Trump instead of Hillary who, despite being evil, is a capable candidate with reasonable policies, so you should kill yourselves.

You got beat, son, time to retire your gay socialist dream.
There is no benevolent government. The right gives dole money to corporations (which at least provide employment and do bring in the revenue government needs to operate and pays the gibs to social programs).
Leftists just want to keep getting votes by giving more and creating perpetual dependency on the system. Now they’ve made it socially acceptable to never work a day because everyone is a victim in some way, and therefore, it’s okay to contribute nothing and expect something for it.
Leftism and socialism are dead ends for society, they create the weak men who force us to eventually change shit up again and drive out the filth and commmies. We’re almost there again. Soon.

this is literally the insectile mind of leftists. Breivik is the only one who has done anything remotely effective to deal with them, in recent time at least. And nothing of any value was lost.

Star Trek has a post-scarcity economy. They can molecularly assemble food out of pure energy, which is functionally limitless and free for god sakes. Neither capitalism nor marxism apply. If you were to look at humanity as a whole in Star Trek, they're living in a libertarian universe outside of starfleet.

Anthony Smith
Dude are you really that stupid to think tax breaks are a form of welfare. Here is your logic: >we are going to lower the amount of YOUR money we FORCE you to pay US! Thats welfare.
Fuck no. I support lower taxes on corporations because they can then employ more people. I support tax breaks for everyone, everywhere. The government doesn't need trillions of dollars. Trillions to do what? Waste more of my fucking money. No. Fuck no. Fuck the federal government, fuck taxes, and fuck you. You really somehow think someone keeping more money thats already theres is a fucking welfare check?
I understand theres systems in place that need to be upheld such as the courts and police. But we lost 7 trillion in the pentagon that cannot be accounted for. No new taxes. Lets lower the shit and reign in the deep state fuckers that think they can lose half our GDP in one year and continue to get away with it.

Angel Clark
Most of the corporations keep a bulk of their money off shores to evade taxes. Leaving it to the middle class to pick up the slack. On top of that, a lot of these government agency’s write themselves nice fat bonuses every year. They’ve been stealing from us and politicans have been skimming off the top as well. Lower taxes, cuts out bullshit, hire more people, strangles the thieves of their luxurious lifestyle. The IRS has been weaponized as well. The money gets rerouted to specific people and then the money is unaccounted for. Launches investigations into themselves, finds no wrong doing, lather, rinse, repeat.
Leo Richardson

It matters absolutely zero how much or how little taxes corporations pay - if leftists win the country is overrun with Islam and Africans and is dead forever.

This is literally leftists today. The only method in recent history which has worked with them is Breivik's approach.
Owen Harris
eh climate change is real. climate is always changing. the earth goes through cooling and WARMING periods. liberals latch onto the idea of 'oh the fucking earth is dying so lets limit the babies we having and impose even more taxes on already poor or starving people' - it's fucking insane.
the earth is not dying. there's nothing catastrophic coming our way.
Mason Lopez
Oh, here's an idea for leftists:
If climate change is real, we should not find African countries that have very low CO2 emissions and the population to the West where they consume and release much more CO2.
Just a proposal, I am sure the leftists have already thought of that. For some reason immigration is more important to them than CO2 levels even if they keep saying otherwise, weird.
Leo Howard
*If climate change is real, we should not find African countries that have very low CO2 emissions and transport the population to the West where they consume and release much more CO2.
Jackson Russell
Conservatives don't believe this. Conservatives are rare in modern day. Marxism has crept into all aspects of modern western culture. Modern Marxism also morphed into an oligarchy. All collective ideas do. We live in a world that is closer to Natsoc than anything else. This is one reason why I am not a huge fan of the natsoc people. Natsoc will turn into an oligarchy as well. We need to destroy The Fed Reserve and restore decentralization.
Robert Moore
You seem to believe that because conservatives don't want the government to do something, they don't want it done at all.
>conservatives constantly attack scientific progress No, they attack government funded science, because it is hugely wasteful and doesn't accomplish what the free market could given those resources. Privately funded scientific research is goal oriented, purposeful, more skeptical, faster, and more efficient than publicly funded research.

...how can anarchocapitalists support government handouts for large businesses if anarchocapitalists don't believe in government?
Eli Gutierrez
The government is attempting to do it which is taking all that potential market and wasting it all. If people didn't think the government was taking care of it they'd invest in private space companies more. Same way that charities were huge before the government made a giant welfare state to take their place and fail at it.
