What Do The Conservatives Conserve?

There was an interesting posting in Facebook. It came from a Miss R.EVOLutionaries, who asked these questions, "Can someone tell me just what it is Conservatives believe they are conserving? It isn't the air, the water, or the land. So just what it is?"

My thoughts and comments:

The Conservatives conserve old values like the master's absolute power over his slaves, which has evolved to become today's political and economic favoring of the rich and powerful, while treating the working class still as slaves to exploit, like refusing to pay them a living wage. The Conservatives would be on the side of the master, not the slaves.

It made me sick to read the news that some poultry workers in the U.S. were not allowed to go to washroom, and were forced to wear diapers, so that their corporate master's money-making machine, of which they were part of, would keep running and not be interrupted. Even if you think this is not modern slavery, it is still a clear violation of human rights. Conservative or not, this is just indefensible.

The Conservatives conserve their money and power, and would tell the government to downsize and deregulate its control, so that they would be free to do their business any way they like, without fear of investigation and prosecution. That would encourage many to do unethical, even illegal activities, to make more money and pay less or no taxes.

The Conservatives would be on the side of the 1%, not the 99%. If you disagree, please correct me and tell me why.

Thank you.
