The Democrats are reliant upon tax dollars and millions in campaign contributions and political funding from all kinds of wealthy people and the idea of causing financial disruption and hardship related to them scares the crap out of most Democrat's these days.
You got that reversed. It's well known Republicans are dependent on the wealthy people. Democrats get funds mostly from small donors now. Sanders set the trend. And tax dollars don't go to political campaigns yet. The Republicans are scared to death of financial disruption. That's why they oppose measures for fairer taxation, action on climate change, reforms to reduce power of corporations and billionaires, etc. Republicans fear that the trickle down will stop flowing, making the natives restless.
