If it makes you feel better, I'm as close to a 2nd amendment absolutist as possible. Yes, even beyond the NRA so no "purity" for me either so you can call me a gun humping conservadem if you please it just falls apart pretty quick when 5 minutes later I'm cast as a faaaar left purist.
I don't hate the rich either I just don't want them buying the government, abusing workers, shitting on the environment to make a buck, refusing to pay taxes commiserate with the benefits gleaned from the system, stealing all the benefits from productivity, and generally pulling the ladders up behind them.
I think this "hate the rich" stuff is really a call out of insufficient love and respect for the rich. If there is any class warfare it has been the wealthy bombing the poor and working people into dust for a generation or two.
As far as welfare "reform" did you miss the late 90's there is little welfare to reform unless what you have in mind is to have some.
