Most Democrats and the left don't care about true equality. Most don't care about social justice, and they are not ‘champions of the people’. Is it equality when those on the left, like Hillary Clinton, float above the law and are not prosecuted for crimes for which you and I would be?

Is it equality when ‘prominent’ wealthy Democrat donors from Hollywood abuse people sexually, including children, use their wealth to suppress the abused and witnesses, and the political left, media, and Hollywood turn a blind eye for decades - in part because the culprits are ‘good Democrats’ who make big donations?

Is it equality when access to Hillary and other Democrat politicians at ‘fundraising’ dinners cost $10s of thousands per plate (George Clooney paid reported $350,000 for a table at one such dinner)? Think they'd meet with voters at an Outback Steakhouse, for free?

Do most convicted pedophiles and sex offenders get to serve their ‘jail’ time under ‘house arrest’ in their own mansion in central Manhattan, like Jeffrey Epstein did? Is that equality?

There are many, many, many examples, because the left, if anything, are the champions of hypocrisy.

They use it, among other things, to cause division thru jealousy, hate, etc.
They are of their Dad, the devil. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. The RATs are one of his favorite tools.

The mentality of a thief is “that should belong to me instead”. The mentality of a liberal is “that should belong to the government, and they should give it to me”.

Yes. I would add to that. The mentality of a liberal is "F' everyone else.".

Democrats created the inequality. They entice the bottom 50% into abandoning income (get paid to not work, income confiscated from those who do; entitlements & taxes), so there is diminishing wealth there. Those hyper-productive who can do the work of many (if by proxy) reap the income of many. Ergo inequality.

The Democrat Party is just a smokescreen for thieves.

And legitimizing envy and covetousness. No wonder they hate the Bible.

Equality means “the same.” So they are saying that all should get the same amount of money? I’m for that, if it means george soros, bammy, hillary, algore and all the ruling elite have most of their money, property and investments taken away and redistributed to me and others who have supported them in their life style for years.

The lists refer to a Democratic debate in 2015, regarding how many times certain keywords were spoken.

All of which candidates, incidentally, were very wealthy by American standards. For these the invocation of the immorality of inequity in material possessions is less a moral position than it is a very useful bit of political posturing: excite envy and yes, sometimes Paul will be delighted to see you rob Peter and pay him but more often Paul is perfectly satisfied just to see Peter robbed. Which is good because that's a much more prevalent outcome when you're dealing with social justice warriors, i.e. thieves.

You think that few? Why would something so obvious be so obscure to so many?

In addition, those physicians are also *WORKING*. They are doing a job that is desperately needed, unlike the politicians, most lawyers, and similar who leech off society and do very little actual work.

I have far, far more respect for doctors, for you, for janitors, plumbers, carpenters, trash collectors and anyone else who is actually creating something or providing a service as opposed to just conniving about how to move money from our pockets into their pockets.

"There should be a way to voluntarily pay more taxes"

There may be, I bet you would never be audited over a mistake in their favor, regardless of size (Not that I've tried it).

Think of it this way. The US Treasury has been taking in gross receipts of about 3.5 to 4.5 Trillion per year from taxpayers, heard differing stories of the exact amount.

So in 10 years that is about 35 to 45 Trillion dollars in gross receipts, yet they are hesitating in letting taxpayers keep a whopping 1.4 Trillion of those gross receipts over the next 10 years.
