Says the leftist.
Rightist policies don’t create perpetual votes; leftist policies do. Not only are leftist policies incredibly electorally difficult to dismantle, they are incredibly logistically difficult, too. When you have tens of millions of people relying on welfare and social security, even if you could electorally dismantle them, you’d have tens of millions of people without their main source of income.
I self describe as right wing, actually.
Corporate welfare.
Corporate welfare creates a tiny fraction of perpetual votes compared to normal welfare systems, and I’d say that “subsidies” are usually a left-wing policy.
More important than whether a program is called “leftist” or “rightist”, however, is how many perpetual votes it creates and how hard it will be to dismantle. For example, drug laws create a tiny fraction of perpetual votes compared to social security, and it would be logistically much easier to get rid of them.
