What is it with this weird idea that liberals are all broke? Unemployment is substantially lower in red states than in blue states. People who are not selfish or afraid support single payer systems. Decent people who experience good fortune share their fortune with others, not hoard it because they're afraid of other people taking it away. Really dude, you need to stop raging against these fictional liberal boogeymen. There's real people, who are mostly decent folks, who believe in a more egalitarian system. Don't spend all your time arguing against empty chairs. You end up just filling them with things you don't like, with the dark parts of your imagination. Whatever picture you have of liberals in your mind doesn't resemble any real people.
What boogeymen? They are real people, in power, in washington. They spend their entire year trying to figure out how to take money from people who have it and give it to someone who doesnt. Every single dollar of revenue is now consumed by 'income support'. Most revenue comes from the top 5%, and almost all of it goes to everyone else. The President himself said we have to 'share the wealth'. Not the rich should share their wealth, but we, the people should share it for them.
