It's all about that power and money. I am not as familiar with the political situation in USA although I was supporting Trump. But I can tell you how things are in my country (Bulgaria). A leftist government came, they promised they will raise pensions, which they didn't, and instead they voted a flat tax of 10%, and a corporate tax of 10%. Which is not a leftist move. Then a rightist government came in and killed small and medium sized businesses with their legislation. It's just gimmicks.
