(HAT TIP BEN SHAPIRO) .....the problem for Democrats is that the Democratic Party now treats wealth itself as an indicator of immorality.

This week, Sanders tweeted, “Together, we are going to end the greed of the billionaire class.” Never mind that creating tens of billions of dollars in value via voluntary exchange, employing tens of thousands of people, and providing goods and services to millions is far less indicative of greed than living as a taxpayer-funded, parasitical, self-styled revolutionary for six decades. The size of Bloomberg’s bank account makes him morally suspect in the world of the modern Democratic Party.

There’s a reason former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg keeps telling debate crowds that he’s the poorest candidate running, as though lack of financial success is a tremendous indicator of governing ability. As Trevor Noah recently joked, being called a wealthy person is, for “progressive white people ... like being called the N-word.”

This represents the reversal of the American dream: We should all aspire to government dependency, patting our own backs for our altruism while drawing on the public dime. After all, if wealth is sin, then chiding the wealthy while living off of them is sainthood. That’s the Democratic line going into 2020. We’ll see soon enough whether Americans are willing to give up the true American dream in favor of yelling at billionaires.

Leftists dont seek virtue in Christ and saying no to what the Bible says are true forms of immorality.

Instead, they believe virtue is found in supporting income redistribution with other people’s money, helping the poor with other people’s money, patting themselves on the back for supporting perversions, and engaging in numerous other forms and types of virtue signaling.

And all the while they chastise greed while dabbling in their own form of it.

Their belief system in the end will not change them inwardly as one will find out when they attempt to claw the faces of other when triggered and while they engage in a stream of put downs and name calling.
