It seems to me, this crazy observer of my country’s conservative movement that it keeps changing.
America’s original conservatives ( the Hamilton Federalist) were not anti tax people. They were also in favor of a large centralized government.
Now we come to the conservative movement of the 1930s. Anti military spending.
Then came the 50s all of a sudden there for states rights. They were also in favor of free market laissez-faire capitalism. Large capital spending on the military.
Then along came Reaganism and the end of high taxes.
Then along came Tea Party conservatism and the end of of free market low price income tax high tariff ( ending free market internationalism), attack on the constitution of the United States. Attack on laissez -faire capitalism ( especially when it comes to high tech).
It appears from this crazy, that modern American conservatism has evolved into a selfish form of anarchism.
