Summary

This quote is often attributed to American politician and economist, William F. Buckley Jr. It suggests that a liberal is someone who tends to support government spending to address social and economic issues, but is not personally burdened by the financial consequences due to their willingness to use someone else's money, namely through taxation. The quote reflects a skeptical perspective towards liberals who advocate for policies that rely on public funds, conveying a belief that their motivations may not be entirely altruistic, but rather driven by a willingness to spend without personal cost.
