Why do Republicans think it's okay to bail out Wall Street but it's not okay to help hard working Americans who are the backbone of the economy?

Billions in tax breaks , billions in incentives, corporate welfare has reached an all-time high. The multi-billion dollar corporations like Amazon & Facebook who went 10 years, and 6 years, without paying a dime. Instead they got tax rebates. Now, Amazon and Facebook wouldn't exist without hard working individuals. Amazon has taken advantage of all kinds of government incentives, not to mention using the USPS which is subsidized by the government wasn't intended to make billions of deliveries annually for a large corporation. These companies would not exist without corporate welfare and without our infrastructure that is paid for by the taxpayers and the same people who republicans criticize.

The 50 million Americans who are in debt because of overpriced college tuition, many of them victims of predatory lenders, are in fact tax payers. They're nurses and healthcare workers who put their lives in danger to help fight COVID. They're underpaid teachers... They're truck drivers, and blue collar road maintenance workers who work hard to keep this country going. They're the ones who deserve to be bailed out, not your billionaire corporate demigods.

The left abandoned the working class a while ago. Those same truckers you use as an example are the kind of people you and your kind have been insulting, and putting down for years as uneducated hicks, for not agreeing with your politics.


Fuck outta here with your fake sympathy. Its not even like you're correct. No way will bezos, gates et cetera (who just so happen to be Democrats 馃) be paying for any of this. The middle class will get fucked again.

@DoYouWannaSeeMyFace Bezos and Gates understand macroeconomics. They understand that when wealth is more evenly distributed, money is in the hands of the masses, it means a stronger overall economy that is not susceptible to contractions.
A strong economy is more sustainable when it's not controlled by only a few.

Many of those truckers are in student debt also, or have loved ones who are so I'm sure they're appreciative of the cancellation. Doesn't mean they will vote democrat or Biden but it will help alleviate their financial burdens.

Wait, you're saying the truckers, et al., [i]abandoned the left[/i], not the other way around. Which culture war item was the excuse for them to start supporting neofascists?
