That was a great way to frame that...nice job!
It is so true. I have found that dichotomy, the people who most ardently wish for socialism are the people who who own a big house, lots of land, and material objects up the wazoo.
I work at a hospital, and a few years back, we were doing a major expansion. I worked out in a trailer with open space, so all the construction people would park out there.
Right under my window one day, I saw a high end, glossy black pickup with all the bells and whistles, easily $70-80K. It was a union guy, and he had a Bernie Sanders sticker on the back as the only adornment.
I swear, I just can’t roll my eyes any higher at this stuff.
