Liberals really don't care about economics. They believe that taking from those that "have", to give to those that "need" is the way we create a more "just" society. If you disagree you are a selfish asshole.
That's what republicans believe only in reverse.
BOTH parties have become obsessed with wealth redistribution toward their base.
The dems and repubs are simply mirror images of one another. And both parties are toxic and cancerous.
The major difference is this - Republicans want you to keep you OWN money - to spend or invest as YOU see fit. Democrats want to take YOUR money and give it to people that will vote for them.
