1. I want one of those.
There's a house in my neighborhood that has a banner over the front door that says "BEWARE OF REPUBICAN" with a picture of a rifle beneath it.

This is a pretty nice neighborhood, but I guess there are all kinds of ignorant folks.

2. People act like it's a sin to be thrifty
There is no shame in being part of the 99%.

7. They Also Think We Are Jealous Of Their $$$$$
I will admit I would love to have their security to buy frivolous things like new carpet,new freezer,refrigerator and siding. I would like to have the luxury of not having to worry about my meds/medical bills. I know many who would love the option to retire but can't,those who work with medical conditions that need attention but they can't afford doctors and cab;t afford to take time off. There are many who worry every day if they will have a job tomorrow. Their kids would love a new game,a meal out,a new fall coat and boots. Rarely do they get their wishes. Many would love to have a car that runs, a roof over their head and a few dollars saved for a rainy day.
I don't consider their needs extreme nor does it sound like they are jealous of the 1#. They just want one small slice of the American Pie.

8. I don't think it is about thrift or shame, but a statement
of how privilege and entitlement are used to make others powerless.

HATE LIES GREED
The Republican Way

Then I usually smile and flip them-off - always ready to kick republican ass that I am!

Sorry faint at heart that's just me - I always win an ass whippings, I go into my republican hating kick ass trance and can't then I can't stop.

Don't like it, then YOU mind your own business and then we'll have no problem!!

9. See that most of us aren't in the top 2% income bracket, I'd say we're all too poor to vote GOP.
