In principle, it is offensive to the progressives that a peasant is able to go anywhere he wants
Your post is outstanding and sums up perfectly the core 'value' of the Liberals! It is highly offensive to them, at a deep personal level, that SO MANY 'people' (that means 'scum' in their language) HAVE so much. It is unseemly for the peasants to own homes, travel, have savings in the bank, etc. because it is evidence that the peasants don't 'know their place' vis a vis the 'chosen elite'.
Not to hijack the thread but that would also explain the Elites love of gun control. The fact that any old peseant can buy a gun and end their reign is revloting to the elite. Things really havent changed since the middle ages when the advent of firearms spelled the end of the nobility and fuedalism.
