The Republicans push this idea that the money they have is because of something they do better than everybody else, and is therefore deserved. The thing they do better is exploiting people, the legal system, and the environment. They use various forms of cronyism in order to exclude those who are different from themselves. Republicans are the people who think a person deserves to be "ripped-off" if they are stupid enough to trust a salesperson, a politician, or judge. They're the people that thrive in a cut-throat corporate culture that takes as much from the community as it can for as long as it can, just because it can. They believe anybody who gets hurt in the process represents a weak link and deserves to be hurt.
The more we reward this mindset with high wages, low taxes, government subsidies, and lack of regulation; The more mean spirited, callous and toxic our culture and society becomes.
