    It isn’t just fucking poor people. It’s paying out the ass to fuck poor people. Are they so committed to their principles that they wouldn’t want to save a ton of money?

      The actual rich who control our society aren’t paying out the ass, they’re the ones being paid.

      Rank and file “working class” conservatives are deliberately poorly educated and fed endless propaganda to get them to vote against their interests and in favor of the rich.

      Conservatives of moderate wealth, the “middle class” of small business tyrants and boat salesmen, live in constant abject terror of losing what they have. They know that if wealth were distributed equally, their quality of life would go down. As a result, they fight against any change towards redistribution of wealth, even if it would be beneficial.
