Even if someone gets money with "luck", such as inheritance, the lottery, etc., the money isn't kept in a huge vault, as depicted by Disney propaganda with Scrooge McDuck.

It is invested in stocks and bonds, etc., to earn income.

The money in stocks and bonds is used to expand and hire people, fund the municipal projects, schools, and the federal government debt.

These are mostly things liberals love.

So, out of jealousy they want to steal the money that would be used to keep them happy.

Just another proof that liberalism is a mental disease.

“So, out of jealousy they want to steal the money that would be used to keep them happy. Just another proof that liberalism is a mental disease.”

The central tenet of liberalism - the envy, class warfare, and jealousy underlying their demand for redistribution of other people’ wealth - is not just a mental disease. It’s also a moral failing that God warned us to reject.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A17&version=NKJV
17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

Even if I expected to benefit from the Ctrl-Left’s grab for other people’s money, I would reject that strategy. I trust God. He tells me not to envy others, so I refuse to wallow in jealousy. I refuse to profit from government theft of the property of those who have more than I have. It is not my place (or the government’s place) to take the things that are theirs, not even if “we” think we can handle their property better (more fairly, whatever that means, or more efficiently) than they would.
