I may never understand American politics. I thought that "conservative" in
the US included "promoting/protecting big business". So wouldn't the
particular example of "taking" (ie. legalized theft) be a "conservative"
position in the US?

Wrong is wrong, of course. But I'm still trying to get this "liberal vs.
conservative" thing straight.

[Of course, when a "conservative" administration explodes the deficit,
raises steel tariffs, and such perhaps I'm just kidding myself that
understanding is possible.]
