I hate the false slur that if you support the left, you hate wealth. I know that is not what you mean by this. But, whenever the left criticizes wealth we falsely get accused of wanting a communist state. If anyone using that bullshit argument thinks that China's communist leaders are dirt poor, they are morons. What I hate is abuse of power and monopolies of power. But the truth is with both friend and foe alike, all nations partake in a global market.
Influence takes resources and all power seeks resources, so the issue isn't all wealth or no wealth, but balance. Right now the global rich are abusing their power.
