liberalism believes in centralizing money and power...they believe that the government should be empowered to solve all problems......they use any crisis or appearance of inequality to justify the growth of (corrupt) centralized government.....the mindset of the liberal/progressive is basically totalitarian as a result......they do not believe in empowering the individual except themselves and believe that the needs of the state override the needs of the individual.......EVERY liberal/progressive policy iOS based on the Marxist statement that 'all profit(except theirs) is ill begotten and it is up to an all knowing all loving highly centralized government to give it back to it's rightful victim owners'...so how is being a liberal different from being a socialist or a communist or a marxist or a national socialist? It's not.
