Eight Facts About Liberalism: Fact 1

Liberals have an idealized view of the way the world should be that has no bases in reality.

The idealized world envisioned by liberals is basically socialistic. In its purest form, every member of the society would reap the benefits of that society equally.  The problem with this ideal society is that it goes against the fact that people are not equal in ability, drive, and many other factors.

This ideal society does not exist; however it is not for a lack of people trying it. This notion has been experimented with on several occasions and these experiments have always resulted in shortages of food and other resources. The main flaw in the theory is that some people quickly realize that they can be lazy and still get an equal portion of goods and so they stop working. Meanwhile, the naturally industrious quickly get tiered of their labor going to support the dregs, while being more industrious profits them nothing, and so they stop working.

The results are always the same because such a system encourages laziness and discourages productivity.  This occurs because whenever the productive are sacrificed for the benefit of the lazy, productivity decreases and laziness increases. This means that this idealized society is totally contrary to the reality of human nature.
