The Limousine Liberals though do NOT want to part with any of THEIR OWN wealth to make everyone equal! Ask them if they want to be equal in wealth with you or me. If they say no, they expose themselves as hypocrites. If they say YES, you’re in for a serious windfall – if they’re not trolling the hell out of you.
The number of limousine liberals who actually support a Communist system where everyone has the same income is about zero. “Liberals” don’t support Communism, contrary to hysterical conservative lies. In fact, Communists dislike or even hate liberals, since they say that liberals support capitalism. They call them “reformists.” It’s true, liberals do support capitalism. They are also reformists indeed who just want to reform capitalism to make it work better. It sure would be nice if conservatives would quit PMS’ing their lies about liberals being Communists, but they’ve been saying it so long that they are probably incapable of changing.
However, the first sentence is not true. I will hand it to limousine liberals: let’s face it – they are operating against their own economic self-interest, and that’s pretty hard to do unless you are a working class American White male who votes Republican, in which case it is dead simple.
However, it is always much easier to get poor people to vote against their economic self-interest than it is to get rich people to do so.
Limousine liberals almost all want to raise their own taxes and therefore take a pay cut in order to redistribute some of their wealth downwards. Now that’s hard to do, and few rich people want to take even a one nickel a year pay cut, and even fewer believe in redistributing one thin dime of their fortunes downwards. Let’s take our hat off to the limousine liberals for their altruism and generosity. It wasn’t easy for them to make that decision. They could just as easily have been ordinary rich porkies, and in fact, their class interests would seem to logically propel them in that direction, but they chose another path, and a very Jesus-like one at that.
