Many people are asking: “Why are Democrats so extreme? They are not just in favor of abortion, but of partial birth abortion. They aren’t just in favor of sex education, but of primary grade introduction to encourage homosexuality. Democrats aren’t just in favor of birth control, but want to hand out condoms to students.”
More questions arise. “Why are Democrats so desperate to raise taxes? Why can’t they ever be in favor of reducing spending? Why are they always for expensive solar and wind power? Why are they always against cheaper nuclear and gas power? Why do Democrats always do so much damage.”
People wonder: “Why do Democrats want to build huge public transit systems that no one wants? Why do they encourage immigration when we have high unemployment? Why do they want so many hurtful things? Why can’t they say ‘No!’ to taxes and regulations? Why do Democrats always do so much damage?”
The answer comes from the nature of corruption. As soon as a person uses the power of government to take money from neighbors without providing useful goods or services, he or she has no way to say another person, “I can steal, but you can’t.”
The other person will respond: “I have just as much right to take money from taxpayers as you do. You’re no better than I am.”
Few, if any, liberals can say, “Yes, I am better than you are because you are bad.”
