I don’t think that would be an accurate “liberal critique”. IMHO, being liberal means everyone deserves healthy food, clean water, an education, health care, housing, and other basic needs. It doesn’t matter if one is black or white, Native or immigrant, young or old, everyone gets universal health care, a quality education, etc. Of course, this maybe higher taxes, but if you pay the taxes, than it’s yours without extra cost, but then again, finances of the future will be different. We see that now, with us leaning towards a cashless society (I really hate cash, with all the germs and stuff, so I rarely have any unless given to me for my bday or Xmas). Our finances could very well be 1s and 0s and not a paper cloth ink mixture. So, we probably won’t notice the taxes as much, but we will know we are very much entitled to all these services, just as we are fire, ambulance, and police (though even that currently is imbalanced).
So, IMHO, liberalism isn’t “I deserve more than you”, but rather we all need our basic needs fulfilled. The “I deserve more than you” attitude is Capitalism.
