One could argue that rich liberals support progressive policies out of fear, they know what is being pointed out in this article is true and are trying to placate the masses by giving them just enough to keep them from rioting. Knowing that it will be their heads the roll first.
They can never give enough. They would have to completely begger themselves before the rioters would be satisfied. Homeless, without a job, that would be all they could do to stop what they’ve set in motion.
