Right Wing: Believes that the government has a very small role in their day to day lives. Does not think that the government need to influence how they think. Does believe in individual intiative and individual responsibility. Does believe in lower tax rates, which allows the individual to spend their money as they see fit. Does believe that the state has no role in affairs such as marriage, daycare, etc.
Left Wing: Believe that the government has a very active role in their day to day lives. Believes that the government needs to provide policies that influence how people think and act. Believes that government policies are better than policies from individuals. Believes that government officials can and should develop policies which abrogate individual initiatives. Does not believe in lower tax rates, as taxes can and should be used to develop and encourage social initiatives. Believes that the state has a huge role in enforcing social initiatives such as marriage, daycare, etc.
Simply put, right wing means less government, less taxes, more personal responsibility, while left wing means government knows what is best, and discourages personal responsibility in favor of letting the government take over your life.
I am right wing.
