However, they are far more ideological because they are not driven by money. They are not as concerned with $500 cash in while envelopes or the gettin’ in on the business while the business is good. There will always be some of that, for sure, but this newest group of leaders are ideologically driven and they really want to run the state into the ground, and replace the existing order with a progressive utopia.
