After listening to the list... I figure it comes down to this.

If you think that taxes are required to help pay for the burden of Government
infrastructure, i.e. common defense, police, fire department etc...
Consider yourself a fiscal conservative.

If you think that taxes are to spread the wealth, i.e. rob from Peter (Bill
Gates) to pay someone who doesn't have a job, doesn't want a job, wouldn't even
consider looking for a job.... well that's liberal.
