To the left, it is all about self, control and power over those not like them.
For years, Conservatives have been pegged with the label of greed. We are the robber barons. We are exclusive country clubbers. We amass wealth at the expense of "the working man". Yada yada yada.
Stop and examine what the liberal/"progessives" are up to and there is every ounce of greed in them we have long been pegged with, but for the want of power and control. But that is OK (in their mind). It's for the social good.
So do not ape them.
