If you'd actually look at some statistics instead of generalizing based off of the photos of "poor pplz" you see in magazines and newspapers, you'd realize that the majority of the poor (or even those in poverty, period) are:
A. White. B. Working.
So STFU Republifag? Truth of the matter is that the US is both the wealthiest nation AND the most unequal among all the countries in the developed world.
The only reasons why the GOP still exists as it does today is because Americans, on the whole, tend to think that they're better off than they actually are. I.E., they think they'll end up being the wealthier people getting taxed in the near future once the cash starts rolling in, while the truth is... no. Why do you think the "middle class" is like 70% of the fucking population? Everyone thinks they're "middle class" - from the barely-making-it single mom who thinks so because she still has a job that can keep her afloat to the 325k per year suburbanite who thinks so because they still can't afford to buy a lambourghini or an extra house in the hamptons.
That, and because of the religious right coalition whose goals essentially creates an outrageous contradiction:
Small government and deregulation for the sake of individual freedom, so long as God gets to tell you how you live your life and what goes in or out of your vagina.
