If you were a tyrant rich leftist, you'd probably want what they want too: Poor people grateful for government handouts and made up of migrants and illegals with no loyalty to USA such that they won't care to be informed on what the dems do with the legislation, a middle-class that funds the handouts so that they eventually will be poor too and not deplete the accounts of the rich, and then depopulation of the citizens so they can be replaced by those poor migrants and illegals since the citizens are too informed and want to be decision-makers on what is taught in schools and how much they are taxed and what it is spent on. The rich left can then outsource from the country the jobs to the cheapest suppliers and buy all the feel-good green equipment and infrastructure they want to see no matter the consequences to the middle -class and no matter how inefficient and unnecessary (with China and India exceeding carbon emissions so as to make green energy irrelevant to the world), as the rich will also be the ones with stock in the 'green' companies that make them even richer. Edit: I know you wouldn't want that too. Just commies want that.
