     Surprisingly enough, Tracey isn't too far off here.
     Liberals are generally in favor of a more activist government,
which costs more, hence higher taxes.
     We do need to mention that conservatives are also genreally
in favor of higher defense spending, which costs money also.
     But I'm glad Tracey did not go on to the next statement that
conservatives usually make, which is that conservatives are in 
favor of more individual freedom, hence they want restrictions on
individual activities only when those activities cause direct 
harm to others.  This is clearly untrue, because most 
conservatives are in favor of outlawing abortion, flag burning,
homosexual marriage, and narcotics.
