I've come to the inevitable conclusion that Republicans simply HATE the poor with a burning passion. They basically believe that the poor are drags upon society and should just be sterilized, starved, abused etc. After all, if people deserve to be successful they WILL be successful. If you're poor it's because you deserve it in their opinion.
