Liberals:
The problem is clearly that certain people are successful and make a lot of money and we need to figure out why those people were able to be successful and make money and do everything in our power to inhibit that going forward, because we prefer that everyone rely on the dole of the federal government so we can expand our power at all cost, even if that cost ultimately needs to bankrupting the country in which case the poor and elderly will suffer greatly, but we don't care because right now there are more people living off the government than those contributing to it, so lets make up lies and rhetoric and convince those lazy stupid people who can't care for themselves that we can make the successful and rich by taxing those that are successful and rich.
Conservatives:
The problem isn't that we enable so many stupid lazy people, although that's certainly the root of the problem, it's that the US Government is fiscally and mathematically incapable of generating enough tax revenue to support the welfare state we've allowed to be created, therefore we need to create a bunch of anti-abortion and anti-immigration laws and try and win elections with our hands tied behind our backs.
Brain dead idiots, all of them.
