It must have lost something in the translation. I can only surmise that he was refering to right wingers who feel whacked by excessive taxation, not the least of which is tdw's lingering, but taxing, affection for the socialist movement!

Here (well there, since I am still in Wyoming, one more day), we say that the right wing are the Social Democrats (do not confuse with Socialists), the owners of corporations, the capitalists, the rich, the famous, etc.
Then we have the center, they haven' figured out what they want...kinda going with who wins, then we have the left wing, the socialists, like in France, and Spain before, they include the intelectuals, normally poets, law people, coming from a poorer background of hard working families, that had the opportunity to study and are simply pissed off at the right wing for having it all made.

Then there is the extreme left..the comunists...(very few now) these defend the oppressed, the worker that works for the right wing guy....the constantly pissed off guy that dreams about getting to the right wing....but has its head so down its a** that it will neve happen

Is it like that there??

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Would I lie to you ?

Actually, there was a bit of tautology in my statement. Right Wing says it all. The wackos are an inherent part of the package.
