Envy is what drives most democratic voters. They want what someone else has, but they don't want to work for it, so they'll vote for the politician who promises the most loot. To quote Mencken, "every elections is an advance auction of stolen goods."
The leftist pols not only play to envy,
but they lie and tell their constituents that the “haves” have because they stole what was rightfully the “have nots”.
