Basically, liberals believe that people should be left
alone to do whatever they want in their personal lives. To them, the government should
not try to legislate morality. This is why liberals believe that gay marriage should be
allowed because there is no (in their view) reason (outside of religious/moral beliefs)
to prevent same-sex couples from marrying.
On the other
hand, liberals do not want people to be left alone to do whatever they want
economically. The believe that the government needs to prevent people's greed from
causing them to harm society. Therefore, for example, they want to enforce things like
minimum wage laws and they want to require car makers to make cars that get certain gas
mileages.
