re: #161 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I’m one of 8 kids.

Four are a-political…
Two are conservatives…
One is liberal…
And my big brother is an unregistered socialist.

He’d never admit it. He believes that no one should be allowed to make more than 75,000.00 a year. The funny thing, is everyone I know who thinks like that, are the same guys that make good hourly money, but will never make more than 75,000 per year. I think that’s why he arrived at that number.

My parents have always voted Democrat. But they’re not political folks by nature. Just the tradition of folks from coal mining country.

I don’t know anyone who thinks the way your one brother does. Not in real life or on the lefty blogs I choose to frequent.
I could probably find some on DU or similar.
But I do see some similar forms of ‘class resentment’ I should call it, on both the left and right— people who want the wealthy taxed purely because they aren’t in that top 1 %, and people who want social programs for the poor slashed, because they are convinced that medical bankruptcies, unemployment, and more only happen to ‘other people’ (read: who deserve it).
