I'm a liberal, I'm on the left and I can tell you, you have no clue what I value. Because if you did, you wouldn't be spending so much time "making up" what I value.Here is a rule which is the hermeneutical key to understanding how the Left differs, in a most deleterious way, from the right:
The Left does not value prosperity....it values equality.
It's certainly better than totalitarian capitalism where 1% of the country, owns 94% of its assets.1. Every Leftist is, essentially, a Marxistā¦even though most eschew the title since the fall of the Soviet Union. Even so, Left-wing ideas are predicated on Marxās materialist view. Philosophically, the term implies that only material things are real.
The Leftās concept of materialism broadens into the overarching desire to see every individual materially equal. The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it, and has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.
Leftists believe that an end to social and economic inequality and one will have Utopia! Dennis Prager, āStill The Best Hopeā
No, claims of racism, is because you and the right are racists. You've confirmed an Attorney General who thinks the worst thing about the KKK, is smoking pot.2. Claims of 'racism' are linked to demands for increased minimum wage laws by this view of the world.
No matter that it has been tried, and not only failed, failed miserably, but resulted in well over 100 million human beings slaughtered.
Fuck you and your minimum wage misdirection plays, you're raping this country's resources at the expense of average American's. You're about as patriotic as a rock!3. And, more bad news for the Left from the LA Times:
"Leaving for Las Vegas: California's minimum wage law leaves businesses no choice
Californiaās minimum wage jumped to $10.50 an hour at the start of the new year. As the founder of a small fashion design house and clothing manufacturer in San Fernando, Iām not a disinterested observer in this change.
After two years in business, my company now has more than 150 clients from all over the world and 18 employees. Itās whatās known as a cut-and-sew house, part of the garment industry that generates about $17 billion in annual economic activity in Los Angeles County, including $6.9 billion in payroll, according to a 2016 industry report by the California Fashion Assn. This is the epicenter of apparel design and manufacturing in the United States; domestically manufactured clothing is more expensive, but retail and wholesale customers who care about quality and working conditions have historically been willing to pay for it.
Unfortunately, the industry is on a downward trend. Los Angeles County used to have more than 5,000 apparel factories; today, my company is one of roughly 2,000 ā and many (e.g. American Apparel) are looking for a way out. One Los Angeles Times headline, quoting a California State University economist, warned that āthe exodus has begun."
If not for the $15 minimum wage, Iād have zero interest in leaving California."

Did I mention that the Left does not value prosperity....it values equality.
Think about that.
