Conservatives have long realized that to maintain and reduce their low taxation of the wealthiest Americans, there is a desperate need for a broad base of taxpayers in the lower brackets to pay high regressive taxes. By outlawing abortion while pushing for smaller government and reduced funding for social welfare programs, the right wing can grow a permanent underclass to bear that regressive tax burden, provide a source of cheap labor to hold wages down, and a broad consumer base to keep demand up. For those in love with money, this is the best of all possible worlds. So, the next time you are tempted to be shocked by the apparently contradictory positions or policies of America's right wing, take the time to boil those positions and policies down to their essence, and look at their likely results. That will tell you all you need ever know about the intent of conservatives, and which master they serve.
Conservatives ARE consistent.
For us, women in China, and in America, have an absolute right to decide the reproductive destinies of their own bodies without interference from the State. These are the principles for which WE stand. We are consistent, too. All rights reserved.
