Why do Republicans hate poor people?
98656
Republicans as a group don't "hate" poor people.  It's just that the needs of the poor are sometimes overlooked as the politicians are granting favors to their corporate friends.  It's easy to understand when you remember that there weren't any poor people who donated $10,000 to Mr. Bush's campaign fund.

Because our country is currently run by Republicans, who historically could care less about the plight of the poor and helpless.  The mindset is: "If I can be wealthy without government handouts, then everyone else can too."  They can't see that the American dream does NOT exist for a lot of people, especially minorities, and that some people have many more obstacles than White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.  It's really sad.  Hopefully we can get some Democrats in office who can help provide good legislation to help the poor and suffering.

Because it plays in simple minds...\n\nThe Republicans are masters of simple, black and white thought and correlative, rather than causative logic!. \n\nCommunists are evil... social programs are associated with communism... democrats support social programs... democrats must be communists... thus Democrats are evil!\n\nDemocrats are evil...Republicans don't like Democrats... Republicans are good! \n\nAlso, all you have to do to be a good Republican is SAY what you are for/against. You don't really ever have to do it (or not do it). It makes life MUCH easier. \n\n"We don't have to debate what we should think about homosexual behavior. It's written in the Bible!" - Ted Haggard\n(we know how that ended up!) \n\nRepublicans - For Fiscal Responsibilty! - 1% INCREASE in National Debt annually under Bush\n\nDemocrats - Evil Spenders! - 4% DECREASE in National Debt annually under Clinton\n\nEnough... I think I have made my point. \n\nGo Lemmings, Go!

Just the opposite! President Bush is so concerned for the poor that he accepts criticism for doing the best thing for them. Instead of giving handouts, he cuts taxes to create jobs. Liberals can't understand that handouts create dependance on the government and keep them poor. Wait!!! They probibly do! That's why they don't want lower taxes. If people arn't poor, they won't need liberal politicians. But W knows that if people can work, are given the opportunity to work, and can keep the money they work for, they feel better about themselves and make better citizens. Liberals want to keep people down for their own (politicions) good. Conservatives want to lift them up for their(the people) good and for the good of all society. Not giving handouts doesn't constitute hate. It constitutes respect and confidence in that person's abilities.

Republicans are for tax cuts for the wealthy, for the death penalty, less regulation for big business, keeping the minimum wage low, for the government to not help poor people if at all possible, pro military, anti universal health care, etc....\n\nDemocrats are for the working people, for the wealth to pay their fair share of taxes, business regulations to protect the working people, raising the minimum wage to a fair level, health care reform, to stop being the policemen of the world, etc...\n\nThe wealthy now have the lowest tax rates since the early 1930's the the Republican government wants to cut their taxes even more.  Meanwhile, we have the biggest national debt in the history of our country! Does that make any sense? (rhetorical question)

I myself have always wondered what would make hard working tax payers vote Republican. I thought it was common knowledge that Republicans work to benefit only the richest people in America, not the working class, which is the majority of us here. But it appears that all some people need is for some politician to say he's conservative and against abortion or gay marriage or illegal immigrants or whatever hot issue is in vogue at the time and these same hard working tax payers forget how much they may be struggling financially go and vote for him on "moral issues or family values". If you are not already rich before you vote Republican then you definitely won't become rich after you vote for them. If you have as much money as George Bush, or the likes then of course you should vote Republican because then he will be working for your interests.

well anything a repubican is for they are against, unless they think of it first, and if a republican thinks it might be a good idea, then they ar against it agaim, and dont forget, anytime you make a point to a dem, they are prone to tell you off, call you names, make fun of your social status, and tell you your intellegence level is lower than theirs!!

Conversely, why are Republicans so socially inadequate?

Bush's own supporters on here have many times insulted America... \n\nThey constantly call the poor "lazy," even though what most of them consider poor makes up more than 50 percent of the population. They say they don't want to work, even though many poor have more than one job just to make it...\n\nThey call those that go to public schools stupid and say the public education system needs to be done away with and privatized...  they also want to take more money away for private school vouchers, which would only take money away from an already underfunded system...\n\nThey even don't seem to value our lives and send us to Iraq, the poor clearly make up the majority of the Army and Marines... and they don't even have a good reason... WMDs that aren't there?... Are our soldiers not worth knowing these kind of things for sure?... We haven't caught bin Laden yet, we focus on a nation that has nothing to do with terror?\n\nI'm getting really sick of them insulting the majority of America... which includes me...

Hate is always bad.  Jesus said to love the poor and show mercy to them, and help them.  Rich people are not God.

First, let me editorialize my comments.\n\nI am not a wealthy person, financially. I was born and raised in Chicago, a heavily democratic city. I hate the Republican party, but, hate the Democratic party more. \n\nThat said and done, here's my response to your statement:\n\n1. Make laws to help people acheive their goals.\nThat's the republican idea. But, you cant make people make goals. Instead, this has to be taught. \n\n2. Create a stronger middle class. (Dont be afraid to tax the rich).\nThat's what democrats claim as their idea.\nProblem is, they want to tax everyone. They have what i call the "Poor people" tax: its called "Smog". Upper middle class to rich people are pretty much unaffected by smog penalties. They tend to (stereotypically) buy a new car every year. \nMy idea: Do as WE have to do: live within your means. I dont wish ANYONE'S taxes to be raised. Just because I am unaffected by it, doesn't make it ok. In fact, it then becomes a potentially illegal tax, as it discriminates against a certain group. \nI'm in favor of a 2-5% flat rate tax, on everyone. Until they want to raise it.\nThe fact is, there is much too much waste in governmental spending, and I should not have to pay for it. \n3. Seperate the church and state, without infringing on the Church's rights.\nInteresting. It seems as if the Church is being persecuted by the state. It seems the Church is persecuting the State. \nFact is, Just because someone is a christian, and runs for office, does not make a conflict. When their religion dictates what everyone else does, it becomes a problem.\n\n4. Always support your community at large and not just party affilliates. \nI so agree. I get tired of this "Bush' war, bring home the troops" nonsense, and the moral indignancy from the Republican party. \nI get tired of the Democrats degrading what the republicans have done, knowing full well, if it were their idea, they'd be praising their candidate. I get tired of the Republicans blaming the Democrats for what they do. Its nauseating. \n\n5. You owe lobbyists nothing... you owe your community everything.\nI totally agree. \nIdea for a new bill: Accepting ANY money from anyone is illegal for politicians, and public servants. \n\n6. Single, childless, young people and elderly have family and friends too.\nNot sure what this is about.\n\n7. What can we do to reduce our depenance on fossil fuels?\nIts what we apparently want. hybrid and electric cars dont seem to sell a lot.\n\nI'd like our leaders to know they are supposed to serve US, not their own interests. Easy-in, easier out. \n\nOh, and, yes, keep the troops in. No matter what party wins, we have to keep the fight going.\n\nAnd, leave my damn money alone. You make more than youre worth as it is.

Republicans are the most hypocrite most treacherous bunch that ever existed in this country.  They are the enemies of the US but will always put on the "patriotic" masks to hide their treason and to try to convince others.  Right now they're trying to recruit in ghettos so black boys & girls (those people that Cons hate) go fight in the war after being promissed free education and money.
