      Only because our nation’s Overton window is skewed so hard right that the general populace thinks common centrist concepts from other countries are radical left.

      I mean just look at how most of the country thinks of Universal Healthcare which is the default in most developed countries and not even considered that particularly progressive.

        Most of us don’t feel that way and would be happy with just reasonable market and industry regulation.

        Me personally? Yeah eat the rich.

        I don’t think most people seriously have an issue with people making large sums of money. The problem is when they make so much money they essentially control the world and can commit all the crimes they want.

          I have no problem with success. I have a problem with success at the expense of others.

          Some millionaires are problematic, some aren’t.

          All billionaires are guilty.
