I don’t think I agree with that. Back during the HillaryCare fiasco, I asked several liberals this question. Suppose there are two possible health care systems. In the first system there are two tiers of service. In the second system there is only one tier but that tier provides less service that either tier in the first system. IOW, everyone is better off in the first system even if some are more better off than others.
Rather surprisingly, many liberals preferred the second system because it was “more fair”. Actually, I think they were afraid that someone would have something they didn’t have.
IOW, they would prefer the lesser system. The one that would cause the more misery for the greater number of people.
That’s fair — and cruel. But that’s progressivism. Maximizing misery for all, as equally as possible.
Pretty much explains their affection for Communism, Islamofacism and other top down philosophies . . .
