How do the left and right differ?

How the right and left are different?

How about how they are the same??

Picture a small group of individuals that think they have government planned out. What it should do and should not do. How it should be funded and so forth, trying to gain power but believes that their ideas are to complicated for the common man. Thus they set out to hire propagandists to sensationalize their ideas until a new type of citizen is created--the wing nut.

From here, the wing nut takes over and crashes the nation! The actual right/left theorists realizes the wing nut is a nut, yet become too chicken shit to do anything about it because they need wing nuts to gain power. Thus the wing nuts have all the power, the right/left theorists becomes their groupies, and the nation burns to hell.


Am I wrong?

Yes, you're wrong. But not not by much.

There is a power struggle. There are extremists and sensationalism on both sides. The nation is divided by sensational language from politicians and media outlets.

Two difficulties: only one side seems to believe people make systematic mistakes that need government correction (in other words, only one side believes there is such a thing as a "common man" that is different from themselves); and the extremists on either side willingly volunteer to be the party crazy people, they need not be asked.

There was little difference to be sure between Clinton And Bush. Really just the Tax cuts and how much trouble they were willing to go to to quiet Al Qaeda. Both were centrists.

There is however a great deal of difference between the left and the right. The left sees government as the solution to all our problems while the right sees excessive government as the primary impediment to prosperity for all. The left thinks profit is theft and that investing is the same as stealing unless the government does it.
