The right is obsessed with its own money; the left is obsessed with other people's money.


The right is obsessed with ensuring that other people don't get the money they inherited, even it is for things like subsidized lunches for poor children.

And the reason I call out "inherited" is I notice a fundamentally different position between people I know who have earned their wealth versus those that have inherited it (even for relatively poor/middle-class people who have inherited their position through things as basic as being white in the US -- which tends to mean you've had generations to accumulate capital that can be transferred).
