"El conservadurisme és veritat" Pot esser que no

Segons Fareed Zakaria, que és conservador, fa anys li varen dir "Conservatism is true". Volent expressar que
no es recolçava en teories, sino en fets. Ara pensa que molts conservadors dels Estats Units han perdut aquest Nord:

"Consider the debates over the economy. The Republican prescription is to cut taxes and slash government spending — then things will bounce back. Now, I would like to see lower rates in the context of tax simplification and reform, but what is the evidence that tax cuts are the best path to revive the U.S. economy? Taxes — federal and state combined — as a percentage of GDP are at their lowest level since 1950. The U.S. is among the lowest taxed of the big industrial economies. So the case that America is grinding to a halt because of high taxation is not based on facts but is simply a theoretical assertion. The rich countries that are in the best shape right now, with strong growth and low unemployment, are ones like Germany and Denmark, neither one characterized by low taxes."
