Liberalism = give a hungry person fish (creates dependence)

Conservatism = teach a hungry person how to fish (creates independence)


What Burr said below. Right now, the saying would be,

Liberalism= Teach a guy to fish, and give him fish while he learns.

Conservatism= It's your own responsibility to learn to fish, you dirty freeloader! Also, don't fish in my pond. Find your own damn fish.
