That's not particularly accurate or useful.

Republicans hate poor people, not for anything having to do with dignity, but because they're up in arms at the idea that they might have to part with some money to help others.

Democrats don't "love" poor people, but that have an attitude that helps them to be try to be a little more understanding and helpful.

Actually, the Republicans love poor people, as long as they're also dumb. Look at the great use they made of them, in the last election.

Correct... VOLUNTARY labor. Your comment does absolutely nothing for your 'argument'.

You have a cartoonish understanding of Capitalists.

Its really not so voluntary when an army of people are ready to take your place at a moments notice. Its not so voluntary if you are stuck in a job only for the health insurance yes this does happen. I stand by my point without labor a business could not produce anything no matter how much the holy job creators peace be upon them claim otherwise.
