“ It’s thought by some, that I tend to agree with, that socialism is really meant to protect the upper incomes from competition from up and comers by always being a drain on the purse of those who aren’t already rich.”
Wow, hadn’t thought of that before, but it makes sense.
In order to understand liberals and socialists, you have to understand that everything they want serves them and there is no such thing as ‘we’ in their minds, despite their use of the term. It’s always ‘me’ for the liberal.
