17. The women I talked to did it to save on taxes

Wasn't for religion or foreigners. Both of the women are single, don't own a house and pay high taxes with upper middle income. And they live in CA where rent is very high and state taxes also.

They both don't care about the social part, both are into yoga and are nice to people around them, but looking at their own situation instead the whole country.

And that is what the difference is between democrats and republicans, we care about the whole country, if we all can eat, have healthcare, have clean air. For them it is more if they personally have those things.
