Even the most left-wing politicians worship wealth creation - as the political-action-committee collection plate is passed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the idea that giant profitable corporations should pay their workers enough so that they don't need food stamps - since when is that left-wing? How did that become 'leftie?' That doesn't seem leftie to me. That seems common sense.
It's not a vast right-wing conspiracy. It's a right-wing conglomerate. It's more sophisticated, it's well-financed, it's well known.
The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
Using official government resources to help bankroll an explicit political agenda - whether on the right or left - is flat out wrong.
There are a lot of grotesqueries in politics, not the least of which is the fund-raising side.
I think the discussion of, you know, can we put a cap on wealth creation and distribution - it's something that should be at the heart of every Christian that is a capitalist. Is, what is the purpose I'm doing with this wealth?
But the Republican right-wing agenda, these people - Arnold and his patrons - felt it could be accomplished by circumventing the Legislature and spending money and organizing and giving sound bites.
I really feel that political will is born out of popular will.
