People like Mitt Romney and John McCain and George Bush were born into super rich households with millions and millions of dollars.
No matter what they did their lives were always going to be fantastic.
Their families are so rich they could live on permanent vacation.
Barack Obama came from a family that was a single mother on food stamps. The Clintons came from just as humble beginnings.
With Barack Obama and the Clintons fighting for healthcare for Americans and affordable education you would think that they would be a better fit for the GOP base.
Instead Republicans act as if itâs a crime for formerly poor people like Obama and the Clintons to become rich and famous strictly through their own merit.
But a predatory lender like Romney or Mr. Lawsuit Donald Trump with his fake foundation and his damaging university are completely accepted and supported by a Republican base who are more victims than supporters of these people.
Itâs as if Republicans think if youâre born rich then you have a free pass to do anything you want without any regard for the law. But if you work your way up from poverty into wealth then you need to be watched and investigated every step of the way.
And how is the GOP base repaid for the support?
Tax cuts for billionaires, cutting Social Security cutting Medicare cutting food stamps, cutting the very things that keep people out of poverty.
I havenât heard of a single billionaire who wasnât a billionaire before the tax cuts.
So why do you think this support for people born into money rather than for people who earned it all by themselves?
