Heather on Republicans

A democracy will always vote to redistribute wealth in some way and that is why the right will always in some way try to end democracy. The left (the have nots) seeks to redistribute while the right (the haves) seeks to concentrate. It follows that regulation, that is, the rule of law, especially election law, is also the enemy of the right because it is the prerequisite to redistribution. This is the basic truth of political systems. The right characterizes any redistribution as theft and any regulation as always resulting in totalitarianism, while the left characterizes the right not being taxed or regulated in any way as aways resulting in being ruled by the rich (oligarchy) and virtual enslavement of the poor. If America is exceptional for any reason, it is because of the idea of a mix and finely tuned balance between the left and right with this being the best possible Republic.
