The DLCers'
fear of the redistributor label
shows they aren't any longer fit even
for the Orthrian role assigned to the donk head,
because to them
redistribution means
the New Deal
tax and transfer system --
the party of Tip O'Neill.
In the bathtub-size world these DLC donks grapple in taxes fall on earnings -- stuff you got by effort or something much like effort, say cleverness. But whatever -- to be a t&t party means you're the party that takes from wage earners to give to -- yup, you guessed it.
Imagine that... how 80's.
As for the progs -- they won't attack capital wealth anymore then the DLC. Recall two tax moves of Clinton -- raising rates on higher comp earnings, but as a reward to donors, a massive cut to profit "realizers".
