Generally speaking, '''liberal ideology''' in America outlines a system of government which emphasises increased personal freedoms while intervening in the national economy in order to counter market forces. Liberals generally perceive taxation as a positive means of redistributing wealth and funding public works that could not be adequately supplied through the free market, such as roading or a police force.
