Most wealthy people are actually very liberal and vote democrat but are free-market capitalists. The entire “midtown” area of Memphis has a lot of old money and liberal —same seems to be true all over the South, Eastern Seaboard, and New England.
When I was shot in a robbery in 2011 I went on disability but didn’t get anything until almost four years later (three years eight months)— I relied on charities such as the Church Health Center—run entirely by several liberal old churches with old money— and Memphis Interfaith Association (MIFA)—run by Christians and Jews..
To me, your definition of “neoliberalism” sounds like a self-contradiction, There are plenty of rich liberals but liberalism by definition would imply that the people by definition are either for leftist political causes and/or very generous with their money if they are free market capitalists.
Virtually everyone is broke now in today’s economy— I can’t fault anyone but I’ve even stooped to petty theft, non-confrontational panhandling, collecting recyclables, and getting money out of fountains to buy a meal every now and then. I am disabled due to violent crime that left me for dead and no one considered me as anything more than a druggie which I’m not—and even I have helped people worse off than me. I have my parents to fall back on and have relied on wealthier people to help me and others occasionally— but liberal by definition means generous with money and/or for leftist political causes.
