“The left really believes all CEOs have vast vaults filled with trillions of dollars.”
Yes, exactly. In case anyone is confused this informs their tax and spending policies as a whole. We object to the Welfare State morally, but also because it will bankrupt us. Libs wonder what the panic is about, since there’s money out there just waiting to be appropriated. Either it’s spent in a manner inconsistent with their preferences, or it’s vein in effect hoarded offshore, it’s out there.
In other words, the default position of liberals (completely the opposite of the conservative view that we are entitled to the fruits of our labor) is:
"ALL YOUR MONEY BELONGS TO THE GOVERNMENT BY DEFAULT, WHO DECIDES WHAT YOU GET TO KEEP."
