The Left’s rhetorical response to tax cuts represents a fundamental redefinition of private property.

I’m starting to think that all too many Democrats believe that private citizens and private corporations don’t actually own their private income or their private property.

Therefore, President Trump's announced intention to improve life in America's cities is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.  If President Trump succeeds in bringing jobs, safety, education, and prosperity to America's inner cities, the Democrats would lose their last strongholds of support.
