re: #104 HappyWarrior

Some of them even oppose student loans for college for christ sake but yeah they care about the poor.// Shit I even got a conservative friend to admit today that the right doesn’t give a shit about the poor.

I’ve found that the Right’s opinion of the poor depends on where they are in the social strata. If they’re poor, they think that all the poor are being “held down” by liberals for votes. If they’re middle class, they think the poor are whiners who don’t know how “good” they got it. And if they’re rich, they think the poor are “greedy” for thinking that they should receive help instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
