Why do you automatically assume any one who has political views on the right of politics is a bad person. As I have said before, in a perfect world if elements from both sides of the political divide were used in the right measures, the country/world, would be a far better place. There is always somebody there to spoil things though, from both sides. Greed and jealousy are big human failings.
What would you say are the right measures?

Would it be a good %age of those on the right together with the rest from the left who agree with them?

It does seem to me that the left are accused on here of politics of jealousy too often - does that mean that the right are the ones mainly affected by greed? (My feeling is no).

I don't think that people should be categorised too much. It's possible to have both left and right leanings. Based on my voting in the past I guess that I would be seen as from the right although many of my values are more towards the left.

There's no doubt though that 'The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil'. Jealousy and greed are simply ways this is worked out.
