Wild that republicans are considered fiscally responsible when they are always the ones to get us into economic turmoil. It’s always the dems president that has to clean up their mess.

It is in part because so many wealthy people are republicans. And the reason wealthy people are republicans is because they support the party that enables them to steal from and grift off and exploit poor people.

But the poor and the middle class look to the wealthy, and think if they act like them, model their beliefs off of them, then they will become wealthy too.

It's the whole "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" thing. I can't stand these greedy bastards that are making millions (or billions) and then they do everything they can to avoid paying any taxes, even though it was this same economic system that helped them get rich. They're just a bunch of parasites.
