        There’s an old Soviet joke.

        Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev are riding a train through Leningrad. They look out the window and see a man begging outside the terminal.

        Stalin pounds his fist and declares, “I cannot believe what I am seeing! The mayor of the town should be shot for allowing such poverty in this wealthy city!”

        Khrushchev thumbs his chin and announces, “I cannot believe what I am seeing. The city clearly needs another round of economic reforms to fix the poverty in this wealthy city.”

        Brezhnev twiddles his thumbs and mutters, “I cannot believe what I am seeing. Someone should shut the window.”

        Liberals like to pretend their Khrushchev. Conservatives like to pretend liberals are Stalin. In reality, liberals are Brezhnev.
