Yes, I agreee.  You are an economic libertarian and a social conservative.  That means that the ones with the gold make the rules, in your view at least.  In my opinion you shouldn't cling too tight to that view.  It may prove toxic.

I assume that you believe that ones who have no gold or want more gold from others should be the ones who make the rules instead. Or, those who represent them should be the ones who make the rules. So, whose gold are you talking about? Are you talking about the rich peoples  gold, my gold, the neighbors gold or all of the gold? It's funny, other peoples gold doesn't matter to us but our gold seems to matter so much to you guys these days. So, what's the problem on the Democratic side? Ain't there enough gold on the Democratic side these days? Are there to many people on the Democratic side who have no gold these days? Are the ones in charge of distribution taking to much for themselves, their family members, friends and political contributors?  I suggest that you get your mind out of the LW gutter, it may prove toxic and possibly end your life faster than you'd prefer. We've already seen what the Left can do, wait til you see what all we can do in return when the time comes. 

Just so you know: there is plenty of wealth on both sides (all sides, assuming you split the GOP into Trumpers and Never Trumpers).  The point is simple: in a democracy it's people not money that's supposed to rule.  That hasn't been true for a long time.  Pick a topic.  A large majority (roughly 70%) favors vaccine mandates, but the minority is still blocking them -- even imposing anti-vacccine and anti-masking mandates.  On guns, roughly 60% wants actual gun controls, and over 80% want mandatory background checks.  On taxes, almost everyone wants higher taxes on the wealthy ... except the wealthy, of course.  I could go on, but you get the point.  Rule by the minority can't go on forever, but the monied interests have found these minority tubthumpers will back their desire to avoid taxes and regulation if they get to avoid vaccines, not wear masks and get to have as many guns as they wish, unimpeaded.

The same group, it's the upper echelon on the Democratic side right. Do you see that as much with the Republican side? Keep in mind, the Republican side has seventy some million people who own gold. Do you have any idea how much of a loss the Democrats are going to take when America declares its independence and parts ways with Acirema?

Red America stands to lose a lot more if the country is split Red and Blue. Blue states have higher per capita income, higher per capita wealth and more people to boot.  Most of the poorest areas on the country are Bright Red.  Will your less poverty-stricken areas support your poor Red brothers and sisters?  Just asking.
