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.

@sunsporter1649 says [quote]Yeah, spread the misery around, stick it to everyone, it's the demonocrat way[/quote] Nope. Dead wrong. Let's take stock market growth as a long term proxy for economic growth.

"From 1952 through June 2020, annualized real stock market returns under Democrats have been 10.6% compared with 4.8% for Republicans." https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/07/23/historical-stock-market-returns-under-every-us-president/#51469926faaf

Stock markets grow more than TWICE as fast under democratic presidents, and over the long term that correlates with higher GDP growth and other positive economic factors. The evidence is clear: if you like economic growth, elect more democrats!!
