44. IMO, this hatred of the poor is why many (who deem themselves as "upper class") GOP'ers are in that

party at all. I've heard countless times from people who should know better, their simplistic reasoning for being a GOP'er is they believe everyone should have to work just like they do. They think that by being a republican they are better than those who are deemed as solely looking for handouts. The GOP has framed the issue well, never exposing the real culprits of this coordinated looting of taxpayer money, so they can continue to serve that revolving door of big monied interests. They point out the little people (and there will always be some) that fraudulently get assistance & sure they should be weeded out, but the big frauds are in our faces all the time, aided and abetted by those in gov't that hide who the real thieves are, they serve them, that elite l%, the too big to fail and too big to jail.

When people vote against their pocketbooks time and time again, there is a spewed reasoning, it seems some are forever doomed to see only a slice of reality, never realizing who EXACTLY it is that is looting the big money, the real perps of welfare and all the real so called "entitlement" money and mentality. They actually enable this predatory capitalism, that's gutting our country, and all of us.

The corruption is too big now, it's so big it is becoming obvious that we simply have been taken over. It is official, the oligarchy is ruling. Business as usual isn't going to work, it's time to call it out and stop assisting in our own demise.
