Poor people are poor because they are lazy and immoral.  They don't deserve my hard earned money.  I'd rather pay to lock them up than give them hand outs.

Why would a person work hard to be successful if the government is just going to take the money and give it to someone who didn't work as hard?  Rich people deserve what they have because they are best of society.

We need prayer in schools to stop drug use and sex.


Because rich people know what is best for the rest of us? And prayer works, just ignore the multitude of gods and religions and sub sects of each that dont agree.

Tongue in cheek Brian.  You are missing the nuance.

We only need to know what's best for ourselves.  Rich people do and set the example.  Read The Fountainhead, you'll be woke like me.

Nuance, irony, and sarcasm are just a few of the many, many things not in Brian’s wheelhouse.

If we're being absolutely honest here, what policies do the Republicans implement that help you as the average American?

What policies are you referring to? And on what government level?

Locally (city, county, state), they tend to be more fiscally responsible when it comes to spending, taxes and social needs/works programs. These effect more than the one percent.

Is this what you meant?

All "fiscally responsible" means, at any level of government, is "we dob't want to properly fund neccessary government programmes because we don't want to tax rich people, because they'll stop bunging us." Sorry, brewer, but even at a local level this rule applies.

The other thing about "fiscally rsponsible" politicians is that they only ever spend big on wasteful programmes or corrupted programmes that they can shake their vigorish out of.

“Shake their vigorish out of”?? Ok I’m lost on this one. Translate?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

As an addition to your second excuse, a lot of those who offer that one will also offer "they don't deserve social welfare, I do" when it is poinyed out that the person is also receiving state benefits.

Obviously you are either for Trump or you are for America.

I still have yet to check my neighbor across the street. His house sits sideways to the curve/bend in the road. He has trees blocking my view from my house, but if I were to walk around to face the front of his house, he has had a GIGANTIC "Trump/Pence" banner draping his porch since he started his run in 2015. I haven't looked as of late. I might just go look right now, and see the same result.

I just checked. HE TOOK IT DOWN!
