Now that you mention it, has it ever occurred to you that the Liberals approach to life, in a nutshell, is that if everyone can’t prosper, then no one should be allowed to prosper? They seem to take the adage that a chain is a strong as its weakest link to a new level, where stronger links must be made as weak as the weakest link. If you have a chain with its weakest link in the middle and that link gives way the conservative view is you now have two chains, both stronger than the first. The thought never occurs to a liberal think to strengthen that weak link, just weaken the strong links!
That's cover for their real thinking: If you appear to have more or bigger things than they do, you have too much. They look down their noses at those with less and only use them as props to justify taking away your things. They are far from being a Mother Teresa looking out for the poor.
