Actually, you hit a key point I was contemplating this morning, after an Enron chat with a liberal pal.
Liberals believe wealth distribution *is* the primary mission of govt, with everything else either supporting that goal, or subordinate to it.
Once that premise is understood, the whole mindset becomes clear.
Has this guy ever really worked for a living? Five will get you ten that permissive parents still continue to fund his lifestile.
