I am finally getting discusted

In the Good Book it says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than and rich man (something from there, I forgot)
The wealthy not just the 1% strike me as a bunch of spoiled brats. Anyone who can't live on $250,000 a year does not have my sympathy.
The local paper prints some letters from individuals and this morning I read whining about the hate for Trump. Another who apparently has not had a child die from lack of care due to money doesn't see a thing wrong with the "health" care bill the Republicans are making.
She probably has coverage and like many of the well to do just doesn't give a damn about anyone else and can't understand why other people are upset. The Republican party states their "values" Christian and otherwise but are perfectly willing to let people die, go hungry, homeless. Those well off OWE some RESPONSIBILITY and LOYALTY to the country that allowed them to become so comfortable. The wealthy do not show the US loyalty when they outsource profits and let the common tax payer pay for the pollution and messes they leave, just like spoiled brats.

Most Trump supporters I know have a household income of 40k or less a year.

They are usually unemployed middle aged white males that depend on a spouse or family member for support.
