Understanding liberals and how they think

Liberals’ vision of government is easily understood and makes perfect sense if one acknowledges their misunderstanding and implied assumptions about the sources of income. Their vision helps explain the language they use and policies they support, such as income redistribution and calls for the rich to give something back.

Suppose the true source of income was a gigantic pile of money meant to be shared equally among Americans. The reason some people have more money than others is because they got to the pile first and greedily took an unfair share.
