So why do Republicans love Trust Fund Babies?
Honest question?
Let's talk about it? It is rather all isn't it?
The GOP seems to truly have a thing for trust fund babies as their leaders? What's up with that?

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Well, it's not like they would have a union worker represent them.

Well put very well put but we are in a global market place and sadly now that the walls are down we are on our way down fast and quick and let me tell you....life in China isn't all that it's cracked up to be. And we are not too long from being no better than them.
Well let's be honest with ourselves for a second both parties were part of opening up China and exporting jobs.
AND let's be honest for a second it was inevitable.

But that aside....why the love of trust fund babies?
First it was Jesus H Bush and you trickle that down and there are many many well healed sons who are the starts of the Republican party.

What gives?

Perhaps for the same reason Democrats like them.

Quote

Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott (D-Wash) called President Obama's tax cut deal "unfair" on Sunday, during an appearance with fellow Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) on CNN's "State of the Union," and accused the president of not being serious about helping the unemployed.

"If you just take one specific issue to show the unfairness of this, you have two groups of people in this country who do not have jobs," McDermott told host Candy Crowley: "You have trust fund babies and you have the unemployed."

Obama's tax cut deal "gives $68 billion to the trust fund babies with security, it's going to last two years. To the unemployed, he gives $56 billion," McDermott continued. "It's going to go for a year, and then it's sort of up to the Republican-controlled Congress to go into the second year."

"If he were serious about this unemployed, he would have put in two years, he would have demanded that he have two or three years of unemployment, because Bernanke is saying we're going to have high unemployment for the next five years. It's not going away. And any avoidance of that is simply not caring about the unemployed in this country."

At our current anemic growth rate it is predicted that if all goes well we may be at "full" employment in 2020. Which is very far from today and we will all most likely be dead by then or wishing we were.

However that aside and the fact that there is some seriously huge money int he game ensuring that things will not get fixed quickly the jellocrats may be pro big money but why are is the GOP so overtly in love with trust fund babies?

To be fair, it's not exactly like both parties don't love their royalty. While the Republicans have the Bush family, the Democrats have the Kennedys and both parties have Skull and Bones.

For quite a bit of US history, power has been concentrated into just a handful of families. When I hear people talk about the possibility of a Jeb Bush presidency, I shudder. It has zero to do with his politics and everything to do with the de facto caste system.

I abhor the side of the aisle that is dependent on the proliferation of Untouchables.

It's not so much that the side that attracts Brahmins is all that wonderful; it all comes down to the principle of "We Suck Less!"

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Trust funds generally emanate from successful businessmen. They know which side their bread is buttered on.

Democrats love a good salesman with false promises. They want someone to give them their bread and butter.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I think both parties have a nice share of rich / trust fund types. The Kennedys leap to mind in the Democratic party. I don't know John Kerry's origins, but he certainly married well. I don't know where Al Gore's money came from. I'll google it after posting this.

Reminds me of the US Constitutional Convention...As one historian noted, it was a "Convention of the well-bred, the well-fed, the well-read, and the well-wed."

I think villifying one party or another for this condition is mostly an indication of the accuser's preference.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

On the same line, why do the left hate them? Does "trust fund baby" per se equal "asshole?"

And this surprises you? If someone were to come out against all Persians, you think Persians would be rallying to the opposition?

Plenty of the wealthy and trust fund babies have supported democrats and WILL continue to support them. These are the hardcore liberals.

Let me guess? Gays overwhelmingly support Democrats. Gee, any idea why? Could it be that it's because Republicans attack gays all the time, much like Democrats attack the wealthy?

If you want wealthy donors, be friends with the wealthy.

So then . . . you admit Republicans are just like bank robbers, because "that's where the money is."

It's the same reason the Democrats GO AFTER the wealthy - because that's where the money is, and the Democrats want it. Corporations? Yep. Democrats want their money, too.

So the wealthy have a choice - give it to the GOP in the hopes of keeping some of it or losing more of it to the Democrats.

Republicans; "Wealthy people: If you want to keep your money, give it to us."
Democrats: "Poor people: we'll make the wealthy give their money to us."

Both sides want the same thing. Money.
