They love the taxes and hate the engine even as they seek total control over the industry.
The left is an unholy alliance of opposing forces that values power above everything. The people voting for the left are too ignorant to understand they vote against their own individual interests even as the leftists elite become more wealthy claiming to represent the little guy.
The left will gain power using the revenue generated by the very industry they despise. They have a winning formula for short term gains no matter the long-term damage.
