What's sad is many Americans buy into the lie that liberals are exempt from victimizing citizenry in this way.
Naaah... What's TRULY sad is that Republican commoners have been fished in to think that their own interests are represented by these plutocrats and keep voting against themselves.
You can't with any honesty say that Republican and Democrat politicians are alike in dealing with wealth and power distribution. It's REPUBLICANS on the Supreme Court who decided Citizens United and McCutcheon. It's REPUBLICANS who vote against universal healthcare and minimum wages and Medicare and job programs and education.

The latter thinks it's the government's job to distribute wealth. Hence, they don't like freedom very much. I like freedom.

keep voting against themselves.

Am I allowed to say that disagree with the basic premise of wealth distribution, regardless of the mouthpiece? Please let me know and I'll tailor my thought process to your liking. TIA.

It's DEMOCRATS on the Supreme Court who decided Kelo and upheld the individual mandate.
It's DEMOCRATS who took away health care plans people wanted to keep and replaced them with plans that offered higher deductibles, higher premiums, and smaller networks. It's DEMOCRATS who were united in support of bailing out Wall Street fat cats (although the RINOs had their backs on that one.)
