Liberalism is the philosophical belief in the goodness of mankind and the inviolability of universal civil rights under a limited central government. Unlike the belief system of the left wing liberals, liberalism seeks to narrow the focus away from rigid viewpoints and instead focus on bettering society as whole by finding common ground. Liberalism seeks to establish a government beneficial to the common welfare with fair laws and equal opportunities. Liberals believe in a government regulated economic system that protects citizens from big businesses which only seek to devour the little guys through monopolies and corporate buy-outs. Conversely, liberalism supports the need for a free market without government interference or control. Everyone is free to participate in an unregulated marketplace. If the government steps in to limit the successes of big businesses, then our country will become more socialist than capitalist, and individual responsibility will be lost. A free market allows for unlimited public access to wealth and products, as well as individual innovation.
