Why do republicans hate poor people so much?

They don't see you as people. It's just that simple.

Rich republicans: because they view them as damaged goods who only have themselves to blame, that are only fit for slave labor to profit from.

Poor republicans: ?? probably think that they'll become rich one day, unlike those other poor low life schmucks who deserve nothing because they're damaged goods who only have themselves to blame, that are only fit for slave labor.
