Not sure if I totally agree. Libs/Progressives/Dems are all about ENVY, POWER and CONTROL. The more of your money that they confiscate, the less power and influence you have, and the more they have. They simply HATE you having money (= power in their mindset). They have chosen their lifestyle and they will do everything in their power to make sure that you do the same (but without any power of your own of course).
...then you proceeded to make my point. They don't want to raise money for governmental use, they want to change the power structure.
