In an interview with PJ Media's Michelle Fields, Robert Kennedy, Jr. gave us some insight into the hypocrisy and quest for power that the left has. He said, "It's much more important to change your politician than it is to change your light bulb or your cell phone or your automobile."
Robert Kennedy, Jr., and those who agree with his politics believe the only way to better ourselves is to give other people power over us and pass laws that everyone must live by. He's asked whether he would set an example by giving up his cell phone or his car, and he basically argued that he's not going to do it alone, what we need to do is pass a law that will outlaw it nationally.
This is analogous to the left being unwilling to voluntarily pay higher taxes. They want everyone to pay higher taxes; if it were the law they'd happily abide it, but until then, they won't pay a dime more.
The next quote reinforces this idea, but I want to be careful, it seems to be an incomplete thought in the video, so it will be easy to claim I took it out of context. If it didn't fit so well with the rest of his rant, though, I wouldn't include it.
"...We don't care what kind of car you use, but we're going to make a law that says you can't make a car in this country unless it gets 40 mpg or you can't make a car unless it's an electric car."
The ellipses stand in for "If [the Koch brothers] were to say to us." But he never finished the hypothetical. I believe the above quote captures what Kennedy believes. Watch the video for yourself. This quote is around the 2:40 mark.
