You are being lied to

We are not a nation of conservatives and liberals; we are a nation of constitutionally free human beings. The only ideas that we can agree upon stem from this one equality we give power to through our consent, equal protection under a rule of law. It is through this ratiocination that Republicans and Democrats proposition that they represent what is the best of the American way of life. “Join us!”, they say, “we believe in liberty, free markets, equality and a safer America!”, and you all know what they mean; liberty means you pay taxes and we don’t, liberty means say nothing of our corruption and we’ll hand you a conviction on middle management every-so-often, free market means freely open for upper echelon corruption and consolidation, equality means that you must be labeled, tracked and “secured” a place in our vision of society, safe means you are a terrorist until proven innocent, and safe means you must support the wars or “shut up”.
