People would be held accountable for their own actions. On the same hand, people would succeed or fail by their own merits not the color of their skin. People would be able to enjoy many rights that were granted to us, but have since then been taken away or suppressed.
You didn't answer the question in a macro way. What would Chicago look like in 2050?
I thought the OP was going somewhere else with this. But I'd like to know where right-wingers think this country will in 20, 50, 100 years if they had their way?
Continued incentives and deregulation for big business, cut spending on Gov't programs, low taxes, tough immigration policy, a hawkish military, and intolerant social programs.
How would this leave us? I see a tiny minority of super-rich; culturally segregated non-communities; decreasing political allies internationally, appalling pollution and environmental disasters; and a country not worth caring about.
Can someone on the right describe a different scenario?
If that is what you see as a result of what you predict will happen under GOP leadership, then you might consider having your intellectual-eyeballs replaced with ones that actually work.
Actually, if you do what you predict will happen, America will rise again, with renewed freedom and prosperity for all.
America grew up from it's infancy in 1776 to the greatest force for good, for human liberty and dignity, economic freedom and prosperity ever to be witnessed on this earth. and did so on a conservative political ideology.
However, what deToqueville predicted might happen, has happened, with the foreseen consequence. Liberalism is rotting the core out of America and at a daily-escalating pace.
Alright, I said Right wingers could have said any one on the right. I am talking economics here, don't care about bigots, evangelicals, trophy wives etc.......... So here's the deal, you are for big Government, you think the government should be providing bailouts for big banks, big oil, while eliminating health care, Social Security, Medicare, education, unemployment benefits, all the goodies, on and on and on, we all know the gig. So the question is and it is a serious question, I expect civil responses.........what is the end game where does it end?
Just as an aside, did anybody else notice which of the two versions of this thread actually used competent punctuation and capitalization in its heading?
A government whose special interest is the people of the United States, not corporations, not institutions, not organizations, not unions, not industry, not religious organizations, not any group that relies (sometimes preys) on the individual citizen to survive and thrive. Government should be a liaison between the citizen and the group.
Since a group is made up of citizens, then the essential purpose of government is to keep one citizen (or pack of citizens) from taking advantage of another. Those who are gullible need to be educated, those who are nefarious need to be regulated.
That's my view.
This matches exactly the post in the "Liberals... game" thread. I believe it applies here as well.
The end game? To leave me the heck alone and to stop the petty theft from my paycheck to pay for something to benefit the very few or continue a catastrophic policy....

You cannot educate the gullible, they are by definition, gullible.... you can't help stupid, stupid is as stupid does...
What the OP has attributed to the Right Wing appears to be exactly what the LEFT has been doing. Projection perhaps?
Oh, no. He has it spot on.
