Why do liberals trust RICH leftist politicians to distribute wealth? Why give them more power?

Question

You really trust John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi? What the F*** do they know about the struggle of the lower class. The closest they come to them is when their private plane flies over the ghettos taking off from the airport.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, in America today, far too many people have been "trained" to believe that it is the responsibility and duty of governement to take care of them...no matter what.
Your question shouldn't even bring up "liberals" or "conservatives". The right question is whether or not the government has the constitutional right to distribute wealth at all. Of course, the clear answer is NO. In order for any government to have such a right, you have to concede that some (any, our US) government actually owns the wealth in the first place. Is that what you think? Really?
Let's be frank. Redistribution of wealth has NOTHING to do with care or concern for the plight of the poor. I bravely CHALLENGE anyone to cite one example where someone that was poor actually became wealthy as a direct result of ANY government social program. Yet you can find GENERATIONS of poor that have secumed to government "thought control" and remain on government subsidy and welfare. You can just ignore all of the bleeding heart orations from bleeding heart politicians of red or blue color. It has EVERYTHING to do with indoctrinating (Dare I say Pavlovian brainwashing?) the American voter into exercising a controlled behavior when a politician rings the bell of "free money", "free services", "equality of the classes", "soak the rich", "universal health care" and blah blah blah. And what is the "controlled behavior" the politicians (political class) are seeking? The vote of the American Public for them. And who is the real beneficiary of this "vote buying"? The political class. They will do anything, even sell snake oil "social programs" like "minimum wage", "medicaide", "social security", et. al., as long as the bottom line shows that they are still in office, still in power and still able to continue to sell snake oil.
Keep buying it America. It not only doesn't cure ANYTHING...take it long enough and it will kill your freedoms. Just like is is doing today.

Answer 2

All Federal politicians are rich. Part of it is because of their huge salaries; part of it is because money = huge campaign = more votes than any middle-class candidate.

And it's not as if conservatives are much better. The upper-class tax breaks in the past have been largely right-wing initatives.

This is why I am neither Democrat nor Republican. It's just a matter of choosing between two pedantic despots - the only difference is which lie they're telling at the moment.

Answer 3

between the numerous issues I see with Democrat speaking factors (on suitable of the coming up of branch and the entire economic illiteracy) is that, by potential of definition, there'll always be a suitable a million%. except all people makes the exact same volume of money (as change into tried in Cuba), some human beings will always make more effective and others a lot less. yet Democrat rules weaken the business gadget and reason all people to have a lot less.

Answer 4

What do you expect from the far left wackos. They are hypocrites. They rant on about the poor, and talk about the Christian conservatives being hayseeds, etc... , But statistics show the Christian conservatives donate to charity more than any other group. Pelosi and her ilk are rich and want the rest of everyone else to pay for all of the socialist programs through tax hikes. NO thank you far left.

Answer 5

I dont' trust either one of them at all. Pelosi will set womens lib back atleast a generation by proving people right about women, and John Kerry has made all soldiers and politicians look like total morons. People can say what they want about Bill Clinton, but he was a country boy, lol. I fully believe thats why he accomplished what he did.

Answer 6

And when did wealth become a crime in the United States? Are they out of touch? Maybe. But to make political decisions based upon an individual's wealth is irresponsible. Focus on the issues, not the individual's status...

Answer 7

good question.

here's another: why is it all of these rich people holler and whine about the plight of the poor, yet they do not give their own money to them? i believe both of them in your question are the heads of a foundation in their own names, ones they use as a tax write off, and nothing else. the foundations shockingly don't do anything.

of course, i'm mostly referring to all these billionaire movie stars who want the rest of us to share our wealth when they have more money than anyone else. assholes.

Ahem...er...Charles Murray, a right-wing conservative, has come up with a plan to eliminate all social welfare systems in the United States:

Give every citizen—yes EVERY citizen—$10,000 per year...nothing else...no welfare, no social security, no food stamps,..., no nuttin' honey.

Personally, I think it's a great idea...imagine doing away with the holier than thou administrators of social programs!..and holding people accountable when they blow the rent money or the food money. When they go to beg friends and family for money, everyone is going to know they blew their $10,000. I think they'll grow up right fast.

I'm not conservative or liberal.
