“...it’s always about the money.”
I agree that it is about money. The business of the left is government. Unfortunately, a lot of elitists Republicans who control the GOPe are no different. The big difference government holds between the two, including voters who divide up along party lines, is the role government plays in the leftist psyche. To many, not just our Democrats, but all leftists throughout the history of the left, government replaces, or supersedes family, God, church, community..., and to do so it must be(come) omnipotent and omniscient. Government must control our economy, our education, healthcare, our environment, religion, our diets, entertainment, privacy and thoughts, our Democracy and our elections....
When a fruitcake like Michael Moore says he would have been better off had a totalitarian government like Cuba controlled every aspect of his life, we mere humans are appalled, but to the leftest mind Moore was expressing a common longing for the comfort of more God in his life.
Agree with your points. Government is like a religion to lefties. They worship at the altar of big government.
What they don’t understand is that government is run by people who want to stay in power and will do anything to remain there. This has been true throughout history. Power corrupts absolutely and destorys individual liberty.
