Except that's not the reality. *snip*
Sorry, but I know the class warfare game inside and out, and you're just regurgitating the same lies that have kept people voting for Democrats and left-leaning Republicans for the last 40 years. I'm not going to bother trying to explain real world economics to you because I don't think you'll be willing to listen and I'll just be wasting my time.
I will say this though. If you think fiscal conservatives only care about the rich you don't know anything about conservatism and how it works. People don't get rich by being taxed more or kept on welfare or regulated to the point that the very notion of starting a small business and complying with all the BS red tape daunts them so much that they give up and don't even bother trying. People get rich when they're free to work hard and earn money, then invest that money in their own ideas or in ideas that they think are good and will make them more money. You can't do that when you're taxed heavily or when the company you work for is taxed to the point of not being able to give out pay raises or can't expand and offer promotions. What conservatives want is for the market to be allowed to work so that people have a chance to work their way up to prosperity so they can become rich if that's what they want. It doesn't mean everyone will, it just means everyone has an opportunity. Government doesn't need to do anything except get out of the way and make sure people aren't breaking the law.
*I* am a fiscal conservative, all my friends are fiscal conservatives, and NONE of us are wealthy. We simply understand reality, and the reality is that government is failing miserably at doing anything except spending the United States of America into extinction. Your wonderful Obama administration and the libs in Congress are practicing medieval medicine with other peoples' money. They're trying to cure a severed artery by bleeding the patient even more.
