Historically, Socialist regimes decry the fact that not everyone has the same standard of living. They win power by convincing people that they will bring economic equality and prosperity to the populace. Of course, that is impossible. Instead, they make everyone equal by bringing the standard of living down for everyone. Everyone, except the power elite.
This WSJ editorial demonstrates just one example of that. The liberals bashed Bush and the Republicans for an oil based energy bias and opposing alternative energy. While the former is just practical, and the later false, see what happens when these liberal elites find that their policies affect them personally. It is clear they believe their own rules do not apply to them, just the unwashed masses.
