Recall, lefties are very generous with the funds of others, but try to pull a nickel out of their own pockets.

I know it's all the rage to lump all left-wing people together and demonize them, but I must take exception to this statement. There are a lot of left-wingers in my family, and to a person they are extremely generous with both their money and their time. This includes a very well-to-do sister-in-law who has more than once paid for hospital stays for other people. In fact, the only person in my extended family who can be said to be stingy is my very conservative brother-in-law, himself quite well off. So go figure. *shrug*

Anecdotally I can swallow that. And, I can name a case or two in my own experience to parallel that. But in the macro, my statement stands, as in the great limousine libs of the world who are glad to take and redistribute the gain from the taxpayer to lavish it on those who didn’t earn it. NIMBY is a parallel thought.
