its all about whose eyeballs you look at the world through.

what do they do for the poor? capitalists give them walmart prices & cheap HDTVs & fast food & legal painkillers that are like heroin. republicans also support expanding gambling. all these things make the poor fat & happy.
But the case being the Republican Party doesn't practice free market. They are all about giving big subsidies to their big political donors but fight any threats at all costs. Example solar.. Is a challenger to the big energy companies hence the reason so many on the right have been programmed to think it's fantasy or bad.
