    No, it’s not. There are selfish wealthy people on both sides of the political spectrum.

      Do you mean the “political spectrum” as in democrats and republicans? There’s a ton outside that narrow spectrum.

      And there’s your problem.

      They’ve convinced you that Democrat® and Republican® are on opposite sides of the political spectrum when they’re actually on the same side. They’re both right-wing parties. There is no left side to speak of in the US.

          There are very “liberal” wealthy people who are just as much a part of the problem as the “conservative” wealthy people.

          Yeah, because liberalism and conservatism are both right wing ideologies. The line between left and right is: who should own the means of production? Both liberals and conservatives want private ownership, while socialists want public ownership.

      Their political allegiance is capitalism. They’re all power hungry fascists, regardless of what political affiliation they claim on paper.
