this doesn't strike me as a fair assessment of the left vs right. I'd be inclined to rephrase the comparison (based entirely on my own mental model of fiscal left/right politics) as "the left wants to prioritise economic equality over incentivisation, where the right wants to prioritise incentivisation over economic equality". The fiscal right is at least theoretically about allowing market forces to dictate the movement of resources, where the left uses the state to redistribute resources when it deems the market to be unfair.
