Why do republicans feel we have to give handouts to the rich and lazy?

Question

I'm trying to figure out why republicans think that people who are rich are entitled to handouts when the rich only make money that other people earn for them.

Answer 1

It's their friends & they look out for one another.

Answer 2

Looks like you struck a nerve with the rich cake eaters, who's only comeback is "stup1d n00b g0 get ur welf4re ch3ck!!!!!1111" I guess they're too busy sitting on their royal a*ses to realize that there actually is a middle class in America, or that, sort of, possibly, rich corporations are not the ones that need the tax breaks in America, it's the small businesses that are not run by the rich that need them. Of course, with all the bloated corporations dominating the government, no one will be the wiser right? WRONG.

By the way Bush's appointment of one of his rich businesses cronies to the Ambassador's post is ILLEGAL and should be reversed immediately. I guess there's no hope for you Bushies either.

Answer 3

Incentives, tax cuts and any other term we want to call it is nothing more than corporate welfare, which is acceptable to republicans, it is the basis of the trickle down theory they say. Bullcrap I say. While you hear much whining about unions killing companies and the country in general as far as business is concerned, it's just another misdirection play from the republicans. Giving a struggling business that employs a small number of American workers a tax break is understandable and probably good for the economy in the long run. Giving millions in tax cuts to giant corporations making billions in record profits in a quarter, is insane and a slap in the face to the average American. If that isn't enough of a reason, should we be giving these corporations tax breaks when they can afford to give their CEO this kind of compensation package? It's corporate welfare, plain and simple.

Answer 4

because the poor do not placed money of their wallet like the tremendous wealthy, huge company and lobbyists. They couldn't provide a flying fig about the poor. they don't even ought to stress about them vote casting for them.........they have Diebold and Diebold fixes the elections. we are all fugged! extra Edit: What they do ought to stress about is revolution. notwithstanding the preferrred courtroom is listening to a case on the right to bare hands, it is going to likely be exciting to work out how the Neo Con judges vote. we are going to comprehend the gruesome fact with that vote.

Answer 5

Because of the way of the rich want cheap labor from illeagal immigrants, so they can get out of providing deserved benefits to the loyal American Working Class. So they get all the tax breaks, grants, and hand outs without all the red tape. But if something happens to a real American like a health problem try to get aid even at the county level, I had too and I had to fight tooth and nail to get it and then it was only partial and I am a single parent and was at that time too, and now I have to pay it all back.

Answer 6

Post a link to the proof of what you say. Otherwise, consider yourself ignored.

f_i_s_h: You didn't present any proof about the "rich" being "entitled to handouts." Bush's appointing of Fox--a perfectly legal act, although that will upset you--has nothing to do with the question at hand. Join the debate team. Learn how to use logic in your arguments.

Answer 7

I think you don't understand. the Idea of giving tax breaks to THOSE WHO CREATE Jobs is really a good thing. it creates more jobs and puts more people to work. on the other hand you have the democrats who TAX THE HECK out off the working class. and KILLS the economy and thus we lose jobs. all you have to do is look back over the last 20 years. Regan cut taxes and the jobs came in bush Sr. and clinton raised taxes and the jobs left and the economy got bad. Bush Jr lowered taxes and the economy picked back up and so did the jobs. use common sense. and don't let others(democrats) tell you what or how to think. think for your self.

Answer 8

Maybe it's because the rich provide those jobs, retirement and health care to those that they hire to help them make that money, that they are taxed on at a ten fold rate compared to what you are taxed on in order to provide social welfare programs for those that are lazy and don't want to work for the rich guy that has provided the job for them! Your question drips with class envy and with the same mantra that democrats have been screaming for years, "what is yours is mine"!

Answer 9

Your question makes no sense. I don't give money to rich people. State Welfare departments give out money to lazy people all of the time. Take your complaints to them.
The so called rich earn money for many reasons. Money is not just handed to them.
Bill Gates of Microsoft went from college drop out to president of a company worth billions. He made so much money in 30 years that he has to now work full time to give it away. He is not deserving of any criticism.
Professional athletes frequently go from being dirt poor to multi-millionaires when they sign their first contract. And you blame them for what? Maybe you are just jealous.

Answer 10

good luck on that one. The Iraq war will cost working class Americans $2 trillion. I am very happy I am not 30 years old.
BTW, I have a friend who is a Republican, he smokes $1000 in cigars every day. He pays $10, 000 for lady friends. He lives in a $5 million dollar home and according to him he has never worked a day in his life. Rich is a matter of prospective. He's worth about $400 million but that's not rich in his business.

Answer 11

Because it is often the "rich and lazy" that bear the largest burden of employing and/or subsidizing the "not-so-rich-and-lazy."

On the other hand, giving all the money to the "poor and lazy" does not create new jobs...which means higher taxes and fewer opportunities for the "not-so-rich-and-lazy."
