Political Persuasions

My 3 youngest children and I had a political discussion today as we were out shopping and filling the van with gas (ONLY $2.99/gallon!). I explained to Mark the differences between liberals and conservatives. "Liberals believe in a big government. They think that the government is responsible to solve people's problems, and that, in turn, raises everyone's taxes. Conservatives believe in a smaller government. They feel that inviduals and private enterprises should be shouldered with many of the responsibilities that the government usually bears. They tend to not raise taxes as much as the liberals do." After I finished my explanation Mark asked, "And what does the Mafia think?"
