Why do Republicans delight in suffering?

11. If you make $8 or $10 or even $12 an hour

You might see Union workers not as fellow workers like yourself, but as rather rich, privileged a-holes who act like forcing me to pay another $100 in taxes so they can keep their awesome pay and benefits, is somehow a huge benefit to me.

They also see "the poor" as people who WILL not work, and instead just have their hands out asking people who do work to support their lazy a$$es. It's not about wanting them to suffer, it is about wanting them to pull their own weight instead of being a drain on society.

The analogy I would use is of people on a hike. If one person falls and breaks their leg, nobody begrudges carrying that person out of the woods. What they begrudge is some others who see the injured person being carried who then fake an ankle sprain so they can be carried too. They see anti-poverty programs as helping a lot of fakers and free-loaders, and they feel that more people can tough it out, and just walk on their sprained ankles, especially self-inflicted injuries.
