ENTITLEMENTS
What the republicans fail to realize is that not all entitlements go to the poor. The biggest entitlements go to the rich in the form of tax breaks.
Making the ultra rich pay their fair share of taxes on their personal income is not the same as increasing taxes on businesses who are energizing the economy.
The reason why they are so rabid to protect the rich is because the rich line the pockets of the elected. It is personal greed. The rich pay this extortion to the elected because it is cheaper than paying their fair share of taxes. Corruption in DC is the main reason for the Obstructions policies of the republicans.
