We’re used to seeing conservative, traditional people being called “dumb” by those on the left. “Dumb” is usually accompanied by “Insensitive”, “Racist”, “Homophobic”, “Greedy”, “Country-clubber”, “Selfish”, and a host of the usual pejoratives.
At the same time, the liberals about whom we read and about whom we hear are generally wealthy enough to hire their own public relations “specialists” to be sure that we all know that they are “concerned”, “sensitive”, “inclusive”, and the usual adjectives used to describe such people.
Few liberals have jobs that are divorced from public funding. Most of their money flows from various government agencies anxious to prop up their pretensions of usefulness with proclamations from the otherwise useless.
Brighter leftists who are dependent on cash flows based on confiscation realize that their salaries flow from money that’s taken or borrowed from taxpayers. The smarter of them have scaled the pinnacle of their intellectual ability by understanding “If people don’t have money, they can’t be taxed. My income will be reduced.”
So, most liberals are happy that 80% of the taxes that support them are paid by 20% of the population. Still, they have to complain. And, they do. Their hearts are in it, but their brains realize, “If we take everything from those with money, I’m out of a job.”
“Maybe,” the brighter leftists conclude, “conservatives aren’t really all that bad. Their taxes make it possible for me to have enough money to tell people how wonderful I am, how bad those rich people are, and how wonderful I am.”
