"ANd I also do not think Republicans RELISH the idea of trying to maintain a small number of very wealthy people and a huge number of poor people."-PGRDN
This is exactly what they want.They cherish the huge 10-30 billion dollar oil company profits.You don't remember the Oil Company executive getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars? The Republican Party is very happy to see some guy get 400 million (paid for in large part by gouging poor people that have no choice but to pay it.)Do you see Bush wanting to take away any of the tax breaks these oil companies were given? He supports Big Oil getting richer,and richer(often from the money poor people are forced to give them.)Gee,believe it or not poor people don't do better when Oil Companies make billions.So,your statement is false.The Republican Party is not upset one bit by Oil Companies making billions off of poor people having to pay whatever they ask.They could care less.When Enron was gouging people in California (in 2001,)do you remember Bush helping out the poor people who's electric bills went thru the roof? Uh, no.He could care less about how his buddy Ken Lay(and others) were making bank off the poor.So,you can say it(what you did above) all you want,but Republicans actions speak very loudly against the poor.They aren't going to put it into words,but their actions routinely favor the rich and hurt the poor.
