(9,213 posts)they look down on the poor because they consider them failures and want to distance themselves from them, even if they are them.
They will never catch on. For one thing, most people aren't paying attention and DGAF. As long as they have their mcmansion and their SUV and can watch Real Housewives, they are content.

(9,213 posts)They are thinking that could be them because they deserve it because they go to church and save unborn babies and love Jesus.
That's our problem sometimes, we focus on trickle down and proving it wrong when they aren't even thinking about trickle down at all. We need to focus on how they will prosper under our plan because they don't care about equality or the poor or whoever, they just care about themselves and their fantasy life.
well said.
