America's conservatives should be those least amazed by our left's calls for wealth confiscation.
Wealth confiscation is what the left everywhere has always done.
As we have been repeatedly taught by the left globally, such sensibilities are hopelessly out of step with the new "Progressivism." In one sense America's left is right in its calls: The only shocking part is their explicit nature.
Usually America's left does not admit it aims, pursuing them instead silently.
The left pursues confiscatory policies not just because it supports them in its own right - though assuredly it does - but because it inevitably must.
The left has never been able to solve the question why those being increasingly confiscated from would indefinitely consent to producing more.
Hidden from view, there has been a quiet truce: The left pursues its course in incremental steps, accepts its subsidies, and in return does not explicitly call for confiscation.
