13. Rich Republicans can't stop coming up with ideas to take from the poor

to give to the rich. Rich people can have more money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes and it's never enough. Once they've eliminated all taxes on the rich and all public services, they'll charge rent for poor people to enter a grocery store.

I can't imagine the contempt with which they must hold the not-rich. If compassion is not possible, could they at least notice that someone has to do all the work they don't want to do to have their luxurious lifestyles? Do they hate the people who serve them and labor for them? I wonder what that is like. I'm guessing not as nice as the experience of helping people. But they will never know.
