The wealthy are only on one side- their own. The aren’t left or right, they’re just greedy hoarders. Their ideology goes as far as their wallet. They give to politics to get their way and they give to charities to get tax write-offs.
I think he problem is that the wealthy are lobbying for laws to keep their loopholes or make new ones. Unless we can find a way to keep lawmakers from accepting bribes, the lower class will always be at a disadvantage even if we do vote for better taxing of the rich.
This goes along with some of the scholarship that talks about class morality. The moral calculus of one social class is essentially alien to other social classes. The upper class sees morality as a tool of controlling the masses and of limited personal utility, but middle class and working class have different concepts of morality as well (e.g., perceptions of theft vary dramtically, if I recall correctly). This is a concept I encountered ages ago in an anthropology course, but I can’t for the life of me give you a citation.
Okay good I felt like I was alone in that respect. Sometimes I feel like causing two partiess to fight is what the richest want so they can get away with anything sometimes lol.
But I’m sure that’s not true, and if it is I would be sad people have been tricked into choosing sides and being brainwashed to hate for the gain of others who couldn’t care.
It’s unfortunate that our entire culture has been boiled down to a few wedge issues by people with no interest in bettering the common persons life. Your stance on Gods/Guns/Gays pretty much determines how you’ll vote at this point.
Sorry I didn’t intend to bring sides into this, I am referring to the super rich and poor. Not left or right. Is that okay?
I think both voters on both sides would be in favor of removing tax loopholes. But I imagine the wealthy on both sides would be hesitant?
Assuming if you are super rich that takes priority over political parties. Would the Military Industrial Complex be a similar example?
