As the loyal opposition, I don't see how any liberal (here defined as left-leaning, not Van Jones-communist) could be upset.

Sure, there's no official socialized medicine, but it's damned close.

Military effectiveness continues to be compromised with social experiments.

The federal leviathan continues to shovel money into a furnace while expanding.

The New Deal, with its massive debt and social programs that prolonged the Depression, is still regarded as a "model" of good government.

All of the media outside of one channel continues to be leftist water-carriers, despite losing viewership.

The leftstocracy still runs Hollywood.

Leftist unions still run government indoctrina---er--"schools".

You have nothing to worry about, unless you're part of the one-third of the populace paying for the other two-thirds who take more than they give.

^Your view of liberals and liberalism has been heavily tailored by people with a vested interest in keeping you uninformed. If you are interested in a deeper understanding, we can talk.

Oh, come off it QM.

In 2009 the top 5% of households received 20.7% of National Income.

20.7% of 14.5 TRILLION dollars.

That's more money that the bottom 40% of households earned COMBINED.

3.9% + 9.4% = 13.3% of 14.5 Trillion dollars.

So go ahead, pretend like the Upper Class is being victimized by other lazy selfish citizens too dumb to have been born into wealthy families.

Plus, i mean.. do you even make $250,000+ a year? No? Then WHY THE FUCK are you such a willfully ignorant brown-noser for anything labeled "conservatism"?!

I swear to god you're just some pervy troll who get boners from sadomasochistic politics.

"Yes, Master Plutocracy. May I have another?"
