I used to wonder why some wealthy people(Kennedy’s) or some successful business people were very far left. I think it is because they already have theirs, so it matters little to them whether someone else has a shot. Study after study shows that socialism prevents upward mobility - the U.S. has historically been a country where someone of modest means can reach the top through smarts and hard work. Here there is more movement up and down than anywhere. And, in my opinion, that is all you can ask for. Socialism kills off the ability to move up and those who are already there just don’t give a damn, in fact making it more difficult for the next guy might be to their advantage.
I point back to the Chrysler bailout in the late 70s, the fact Chrysler paid back the loan in immaterial. The point is the government stepped into the marketplace and decided who the winners and losers were. It set a horrible precedent.
