They are often implacably Republican because they think they're Rockefellers.

Little do they know that if the GOP causes another financial collapse, they'll lose out more, financially, than anyone.

from lack of proper shelter, nutrition, and especially through lack of proper medical care.

"the poor, after all, are already poor" doesn't cut it.

I can see how my wording lent itself to misunderstandings. There is no doubt the poor always lose the most whenever banksters bankrupt their respective countries.

I should work on my writing style; it lends itself to misunderstanding.

Let's just pray this monstrosity of a budget doesn't pass - particularly the Medicaid cuts. Cheeto makes Reagan's social cuts of the early '80s look like Swedish-style socialism.

Ryan, McConnell, and the entire GOP.

And they're way worse than Reagan because they appear to enjoy inflicting pain.

They do it deliberately.

That grin on Ryan's face ...

And they may in fact get their way because let's face it: many of our fellow Americans are sadistic too.

They just don't realize that they'd be among the victims.

They have so much money, they start to see which party is best for the country and the society as a whole.

Elon Musk
Bill Gates
George Soros

Really, it's more the tin-pot dictators, slumlords, whose entire livelihood revolves around keeping poor people poor who are the most staunch Republicans.

One is a guy in Dallas who has had personal dealings with Trump and can't stand him, says Trump has one business model and one only: he lies.

If you manage to accumulate a wealth so vast, you can indulge your every material whim, the question arises, THEN what do you do? You can always accumulate more, I suppose, but at some point, even those guys have to get tired of doing nothing but keeping score. So, the choice presents itself. do some good, and give some back, or use it to accumulate power, the one great reward of those who, for some defect in their personalities, can only get satisfaction from controlling other people against their will.
