Talk to any lefty, and they’ll tell you:

There’s a lot of things that are OK for the gov’t or the [leftist] “elite” to do that you cannot be allowed to do.

I have had a similar conversation on similar terms. They actually believe that the people who elect to "serve" in the public sector are somehow nobler and more trustworthy than the average person. Likewise they believe that those in the private sector are corrupt and evil. Even worse, they believe this, somehow, "just happens" since there's no mechanism to insure it, yet it must be true because they believe it to be so.
