Answer 1

because republicans are all about big business.. Big business does not care about who they effect as long as they are making a profit. In turn the republicans don't care what big business does as long as they get their campaign contributions.. It's sad that republicans can make so many excuses for what they are doing without concern for other people..

Answer 2

Hey RyRy same reason why democrats do it. Besides whats wrong with the rich wanting to get richer? They have
the right to do it. I bet if you were rich and you had the
opportunity to get richer you would do it. so shut up and
stop whining. I had a friend that is rich and he never
trampled on anybody. As for you John S, the Democrats
are far worse than the Republicans. Democrats are
always raising taxes. Democrats always say they re gonna
help the poor, and guess what the poor are still poor. Democrats are always taking taxes from the hard working class to give to the lazy poor. That needs to stop. Welfare
needs to go away.

Answer 3

I learned overtime that democrats steal from all people, and the republicans write rules to benefit the powerful and greedy. Republicans wont take you job, and a democrat will though goverment mandates like the minimum wage. The democrats probadly steal more from the economy with populist retoric with traiffs, and import controls, and the republicans do it with subidizing corporations wont need goverment money. Need 435 Jeff Flakes, or 435 Honest Scandivians before its goverment for all economic classes.

Answer 4

Old poor and stupid are easy victims of the greedy, rich and clever thieves running the USA these daze.

Survival of the meanest...the mild will inherit nothing.

They will become as dust, while the rich eat chocolate
strawberries off the severed heads of their servant's children.
That was on an episode of star trek.

Answer 5

I honestly don't see where it says that the mugger was a republican.

But, some people are republicans. And people have been known to steal from the old and the poor. So it must have happened sometime.

I'd say it's because people, no matter if they are republican or democrat, are jerks.

Answer 6

Republicans steal from everyone, even other Republicans, it's just that it is easier to steal from the old and poor because no one cares about the old and the poor.

Answer 7

John Boy, It is the Dems that do that so they can but there votes Now put down the rack pipe and go to detox.

Answer 8

Many of the old and poor are republicans.

Answer 9

How many answers did it take before someone actually read the article?

Republicans aren't mentioned anywhere.

(Hint: NY is a liberal city, mostly.)

Answer 10

Probably because they needed the money and they, unlike the wimp Democrats, were not afraid to take it and use it to kill Saddam. Just kidding but you shouldn't blame your problems in other people. If you don't like something, find a solution.
