Unemployment = Mandatory adult day care for all who have been unemployed for a long time is good,<br />

because those who have no jobs are in that situation because they don´t want to work, so the best way to<br />

get these to work is to make unemployment more inconvenient.<br />

Accommodation = The accommodation should be entirely governed by market forces, the higher the<br />

income, the finer residential address. Anyone who has an exclusive and well-located accommodation<br />

should not be punished with higher property taxes than those living where nobody wants to live.<br />

The basis of the liberal ideology, however, is that the individual's ability and willingness to improve their<br />

situation is society's main engine. Liberalism influences today's right-wing policies with actions that lead<br />

to:<br />

School = Over establishment of schools and mismanagement of society's money, so that children in the<br />

fierce competition among them, are attracted to strange courses without reality. Because the most important<br />

thing is that "everyone" has the right to start the schools and the children have many alternatives to choose<br />

from.<br />

Health care= It is up to each one to find the best alternative, which is an incentive for staff in the health<br />

care to work harder and for patients to compare treatment options. The contractors shall have the right to<br />

establish themselves wherever they want. If there is over establishment only the most fitted companies will<br />

survive. Special service building for elderly people takes away our possibilities to form our own way of<br />

living when we are old. Thus rebuilt service buildings to ordinary apartments for older people.<br />

Transport = Everyone has the freedom to choose work and transportation, and it is best that each one solves<br />

it in its own way.<br />

Household economy = It is up to each individual to ensure that revenues are sufficient for the necessities in<br />

life. With tax reduce for home maids every one can choose if they want to work more, or contribute<br />

themselves to the housework.<br />

Unemployment = It is each individual's responsibility to choose the right training and suitable employment,<br />

so community-driven initiatives to guide people, employment training and career breaks, are unnecessary<br />

social activities.<br />

Accommodation = It is best that the market forces are in control the housing market and the society shall<br />

do nothing. Then each person can choose for himself how he wants to solve his housing problem.<br />

The socialist instead thinks that everyone should be given the same chance to succeed and to feel confident,<br />

which ultimately increases the total amount of benefits that can be produced. It can be seen in such things<br />

as:<br />

School = Society takes responsibility for ensuring that all children have an equally good chance to be<br />

competitive adults. Society also takes responsibility to taxpayers that their money is used as efficiently as<br />

possible, by limiting the number of schools that compete for the same students. Grades at an early age do,<br />

according socialist, that those who are late in the start will feel stupid and maybe lose the desire to go to<br />

school.<br />

Health care = Society assumes responsibility for that all health care services provided are of good quality,<br />

so that citizens can safely go to the nearest facility. It should in addition be enough many healthcare<br />

facilities, at a reasonable distance for all.<br />

Transport = Large-scale investments in public transportation such as subways and railroads are good for<br />

the environment, providing efficient travel and greater opportunities for reasonable living conditions even<br />

for those with low incomes.<br />
