Ever build a sand castle? It COSTS hours, and hours, right? That it is enjoyable is besides the point.
Ever watch someone destroy another's sand castle? Takes seconds, costs them nothing and gives them an opium high, for nothing!
But that's only part of it. Rethuglicans, and their mob of mercenaries, aside from being sand castle destroyers by personality (disorder) ARE Thugs, ARE the Mob, ARE Mercenaries - it is how they make their Living! Really! They don't create wealth, they steal it through bullying, intimidation, cheating, cronyism.... EASY! Profession: Sand Castle Destroyer - and Paid for it.
Progressives (if there WERE True Progressives) bear two HUGE COSTS (although to the True Progressives, hmmm, remember the Joy of BUILDING a Sand Castle?): 1. The orders-of-magnitude-greater-effort/cost-of-building/creating, and 2. THE PERSONAL FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY COST! Rethugs are PRIMARILY motivated toward ill gotten $$$ Financial Gains (Corp favors at all levels, the "rape and pillage" awarded the hordes.... Progressives that Stay-the-Coarse FACE $$$ FINANCIAL PENALTIES / COSTS!!!!
A. Opportunity costs - hey, they could join the Rethugs and get $$$ returns on their time!
B. Unrewarded $$$ Time!
C. Penalties - the Rethug bullies will take it out on you, retribution, for opposing!!!
You get the idea.
This is a profound, fundamental difference that has a huge discouraging impact on Progressive investment (on BEING a True Progressive), in part because it goes on unrecognized.
Oh, would I that someone smart(s) would give visibility to this massive differential.
