Correct. I also believe that the hollyweirdoes feel guilt over making so much money by pretending to be people who have actually done something. To assauge that guilt they try to give our money away.
I don't put political stickers on my car so that it doesn't get keyed. I would never bother a liberal's car that was plastered with 0bama stickers, but I know good and well that if I put an anti-0bama sticker on mine, it will get keyed, and it won't be Sarah Palin supporters that did it.
"Most surprising of all is reputable research showing those on the Left are more interested in money than Right-wingers."
Both the World Values Survey and the General Social Survey reveal that Left-wingers are more likely to rate 'high income' as an important factor in choosing a job, more likely to say "after good health, money is the most important thing," and more likely agree with the statement "there are no right or wrong ways to make money."
The statements above remind me so much of the "Ferengi rules of acquisition" (from one of the Star Trek spin offs). Look it up and see what I mean.

I just listened to Tannenhaus describe Sarah Palin as a "trailer trash version of feminism", a figure most "similar to Joseph McCarthy."

It is indeed a parallel universe.
This is the root motivation of leftism. Some things to understand:
Envy is not about having what someone else has, but destroying what they have. This is more evil than thievery because it destroys America's wealth rather than redistributes who has it. Envy is usually the root cause of war and murder.
Greed is just an extreme form of envy. They are the same motivation. Most greedy people are leftists.
Rich leftists are motivated by envy deflection, not guilt. It's a strategy to keep their wealth. Guilt is a cover word.
Envy is partly a function of population density. People that live in cities see others with more wealth and status than they have more frequently so have more frequent feelings of envy. Living in an ant-hill is not natural for humans.
Michael Moore is a purveyor of envy-porn. He's doing a service by providing a release for those with an envy problem while separating them from their money.
Liberals are just weak POSs that espouse the mantra of liberalism to enrich themselves without guilt, They always want charity to be given to those who need it just not their charity.
Ah but liberals strength is found in numbers. They know better than any other mindset instinctively how to build a crowd. The liberal mind is all about them self, and how to feed their over estimated self importance. They are mentally still a two year old that discovers which personality to use to get what they want. The liberal will claim to be an advocate for the poor and downtrodden, but their motivation is to keep people in the poor as that is where their power is derived. Where would they be if nobody needed them?
An interesting theory that may have some truth to it, My own is that they wish to have power, in addition to all their wealth,
And what does power consist of but forcing people to eat their spinach? Whether it’s good for them or not.
Libs outsource their charity to government by being loyal Dem voters. Step over the homeless on the way to work? Vote Democrat to expand entitlement programs? Cheat on your wife? Vote Democrat to convince yourself you’re a defender of women’s rights? Think blacks really don’t have what it takes to make it? Vote Democrat to provide a raft of social programs when affirmative action isn’t enough. In short, voting Democrat assuages a very guilty conscience.
Partly guilt for being rich and the desire for power over others.
In the U.S. Congress there is a majority with one frame of mind; psyhosis.

Dictators, right or left, are all of a single kind: They are simply thieves. With power.
To support a dictator, as leftists are fond of doing, one identifies with a thief.
So, to follow the money in the case of dictator-supporting “socialists” like the bloated one or the Hungarian nazi, is to discover theft somewhere in the woodpile, and certainly financial mendacity on a large scale.

You miss the point. The point of the statement was that Mother Teresa never bad mouthed capitalism even though she had taken a vow of poverty. Moore and Soros bad mouth capitalism constantly but yet do every thing they can to make money using capitalism. If you can’t see what the author was saying is the same as your statements, then I feel sorry for you.
One question: Was Mother Teresa apolitical?
Their connections are valuable. And they become more valuable when government expands.
The attraction of a planned economy to such people is that they imagine that they will be among the planners.
