A Little About Me

That's why leftists don't advocate elites redistributing wealth. We advocate a grassroots revival in American politics in which regular non-corporate-funded citizens begin taking back our government at every level and implementing policies that help one another.

Those elites are very sneaky.

History shows it is always the elites (either existing or a new class of elites) that do the redistribution.

The odds are not in the ordinary citizens favor.

Some leftists. Don't forget the rabid violent Antifa thugs, that very openly advocate violent seizure and redistribution of economic assets. I'll note that rabid neocon thugs advocate exactly the same thing, except they do it in reverse, stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

I reckon the centrist position is just don't steal. Don't care if you call it left or right. Just be honest, and that's good enough for me.

lol. Theft is legal, ethical, and even moral to the corporate centrist. It's so legal that it's considered being a "savvy businessman"... hate to begrudge them their profits and whatnot.

Seriously, centrists are perfectly cool getting robbed as long as their 401K goes up.

You're absolutely right, and clearly opposed to it, as am I.

I completely misread you. But am happy to stand with you behind my words. :-D
