FUNCTIONS OF POLITICAL PARTIES

It is my understanding that the Libertarian, Neo Liberal, the compassionate Conservative
and the Progressive share one thing in common even though it may see that way. All seek
the means to find a Just Society in which this nation can benefit economically and
socially.
The view point of the Libertarian on W2, would use the argument of it is not fare for
those whom had to work hard for what they have. Why should somebody who is able to work
should be given another chance to better themselves. Not only did my taxes try to help
you, but you didn't even take advantage of it. The underclass that did not take in to
full consideration of what was being given to them. They shouldn't be given help, its
their problem that they are where they are and why should I pay for their mistakes? The
means of making yourself a better citizen and working force are there. If I worked hard
why cant you? 
The view point of the Libertarian is strong in saying you must take action for your
responsibility as a working citizen that is able to fend for themselves. And it is not
the governments role to help you live your life. Instead helping the underclass it making
matters worse not only is government making people believe that government is there to
pay for your mistakes, especially when its my hard earned money on the line. In order to
really help the underclass is by giving the power to non profit organizations, churches,
community centers where people really are affected, not in some building that will make
you think,  Oh I can afford to quit my job, because I know that I get that welfare check
and the food stamps.
The final thought from the Liberal is that it doesn't see that governments role is to
make life easier.
The Neo-Liberal,  We must talk about such things as efficiency and effectiveness is we
ever want to achieve social justice. The question the N.L. would raise is why haven't
these people better themselves? ? it is our responsibility as leaders and as citizens to
help fellow Americans. Thus we must find what went wrong.
The N.L., which I will admit I don't fully understand its view points that well. I would
say is a lot more willing to spend tax payers money on more programs such as W2, to help
those of the underclass to obtain a better living standard. But programs that help,
meaning that it just doesn't make people who need it but keeping the main idea that, to
create effectiveness. Effectiveness in which we can see the results, and do away with
biased programs such as affirmative action which are in reality unjust and unethical.
The compassionate Conservative main idea and focus to my understanding is free market.
The C.C. would say that the government shouldn't create another program to help those
that for some reason did not benefit from it. To help the underclass by doing away with
such programs that don't help, but in fact make their situation worse. These individuals
were given the chance, no, the opportunity to better themselves. Why should government
continue to give a free ride to these individuals that do not take the individual
responsibility.
Let the individual take action for his or her responsibility to make it in the free
market . And not waiting for the government to continue it's free ride. Its view points
is that government is not doing its duty by helping the free market , by creating more
programs with tax payers money that don't affect the root of the problem, the community.
You cant change a person, but you can change the environment in which they live.
Also I see that it is more willing to give power to the churches and community centers.
Rather than to create more programs that do not help the free market , but create more
social problems , i.e. teen pregnancies and welfare abuse. 
The Progressives view point is that the key to social justice os the barrier of racism.
That the biggest problem in the underclass is black America. It is a common stereotype
that it is black America that faces this problem. The reality is that it isn't just
minorities its also is the white Americans. In order to do away with this problem the
view point of the Progressive is the encouragement of racial diversity. Therefore
creating tolerance for one another would reach the goal of a just society and get rid of
this idea that its just the black or just the whites, or whomever it is that is placed
under basic stereotypes.
The other focus is that we must come together as a community and as a nation to help one
another to better ourselves as a whole and not as individuals. Power to the people by
uniting as a whole you do away with all these social problems. Once we do away with
underclass stereotype and see that it can be anybody in that situation. We can do away
with all these problems.
My point of view with what I have seen and heard is the following, when it all comes down
to it, it is the individual whom decides what role he or she wants to play in our
society, all means to become under class and even high class are there. This nation is
truly the land of opportunity and gives the chance to any individual to obtain and
achieve the American dream. I believe this because I have witnessed it with my own eyes I
am the product of underclass that has been given the chance to be something in life. I
have witnessed both urban and suburbia America. Private and public schools I have both
been in. I have met a diversity of people and I have come to the conclusion that no
matter what government role should play in our lives it is doing it. Wether or not we
notice it, its there government will always be there. The role it plays now is perfect.
Our society seems to disagree but the truth is this, we live in country where we have the
right to doing anything we want. You could even get away with murder, my point is this
that no matter what side of the city you live and no matter how you live you still have
the opportunity to do what you wish.
American eyes, view the world through American eyes and you would see that the truth is
that we live in a country that there are no limitations, just restrictions that protect
us from ourselves. And still you will find that people do not realize that America is the
only place in the world that you can express your self and live a life that is not like
any other even if you are on welfare, this a democracy were even he poor have a chance.
The underclass can achieve a place in our society that gives them respect. 
In conclusion, the political parties that I have read about and comprehend what they are
about is this that it is in the dollar sign that will make us who we want to be in this
society and the only way we can achieve a true just society is to get rid of certain
ideas that force us to think that money is what gives the right to live and right to die.
When the true essence is that we were created equal, maybe not in the eyes of man but in
the image of God.
