Some one has to keep them in the lifestyle they are accustomed to. And supply the wealth to bribe their voters.

You are thinking like a right-winger. The average democrat raids the wealthy because they are there, not because they understand that they are the ones creating wealth. They believe in redistribution of wealth moreso than income. They don't understand that once you break up concentrations of wealth you no longer have any income. There are plenty of them suggesting that Obama kick the evil (wealthy) republicans/red states out of "their" country.

It reminds me of the old joke about the Soviet Union and New Zealand.

Besides, at the rate they are going it won't be long before there won't be anything to secede from.

I believe the upper level dims know precisely what they are doing. The rank and file simply doesn't care. They don't care to understand. They will vote for dims period. The dims are establishing a defacto aristocracy. So, I believe the dims know their policies are destructive and the dims apply those policies precisely to that end. In the end the dims believe they will centralize power. All economic and political power will flow through them. And thanks, I am a right winger and proud of it.
