I still haven't seen any evidence or clear examples that liberals suppress the rights of anybody.

Did you not read my post?
If you mean the percentage of liberals that don’t think government should give entitlements, then you’re right. We call them Libertarians.
The government owns nothing. To give someone something, first the government has to take it from someone else.
How is taking something of mine for the sole purpose of giving it to someone else not an infringement of my rights?

so, poor people should be denied basic rights because rich people are greedy and wont give them any help?
you give up some of your income (a more than fair amount if you live in the UK or US, id argue that the rich in both nations are awfully undertaxed) in order to give thoose less fortunate than you the same rights you enjoy, like education or healthcare.

No, poor people, thanks to having the same rights as rich people, have the opportunity to earn an income that affords them a better standard of living.
Of course in your world there would be no rich people to pay for the poor, as you think no one should make more then 100k, so why are you arguing with me?
I was poor, and now I am not. I got here by taking advantage of my rights, not by just taking.
