(#5035) The republican party thinks that poor people are con artists

      I was thinking about how republican voters must see the poor. Like they are lazy worthless con artists who are only trying to live off the government dole. Yet that is insane in the information era we live in. Anyone can go on the internet and find out how capitalism works. It is real simple when you think about how so many are trying to become wealthy. There are not enough smart ideas out there where the marketplace is smitten with a companies product. So with that in mind the only way the majority of capitalists can make the kind of money that would fulfill their dreams is to cut costs on the bottom line. Which for too many is labor costs.
     So when the labor force is forced to accept wage standards that are barely livable wages you can begin to see why the poor are plentiful and the more well off are fewer. Yet republican voters cannot grasp this concept of capitalistic opportunism. The federal minimum wage is still at $7.25 an hour. The republican party has been blocking legislation proposed by democrats for years that would raise that amount. They block that legislation because the republican party is not a party of the working middle poor class. No, they are the party of the wealthy so what the wealthy need is cheap labor. Regardless of what that does to the people who are stuck in defined labor work.
     Again, republican voters cannot understand this simple explanation. They are more likely driven in their disgust of people who are not well off by other factors of race, gender, and objective thinking. So when they try to explain their opposition to voting against policies aimed at giving everyone the opportunity to succeed, they utterly fail to logically impress. However that is not enough for them to question their own thinking. Instead it further infuriates them and adds illogical fuel to the other factors of their debased dislike of we who are in the working middle poor class. The only ones who are being conned into thinking the wealthy need more help than oppressed workers are the republican voters!
