IS YOUR MORAL ARGUMENT BY REVENUE, INCOME, OR BALANCE SHEET?

Whenever people claim some policy or value is good, ask them whether they mean a sales and revenue report, an income statement, or a balance sheet.

1 – Revenue Report

Money In the Door (liberal / female )

Ooooh, look what I have to spend!

2 – Income Statement

Money In Minus Expenses Out (libertarian – ascendant male)

Oh, maybe I have something left to save or invest?

3 – Balance Sheet

Assets minus Liabilities after Income and Expenses

(Conservative – Mature Male)

Hmm…. In the end, after all is said and done we’re still losing capital due to depreciation and unproductivity.

In other words, are they using full accounting (balance sheet), or are they *cherry-picking*?

Because a conservative includes genetic, social, institutional, and normative capital in his calculations. A libertarian is selective about it. And a liberal treats it as someone else’s problem.
