The Republican party cares about the rich. But if you really look, that is true of politicians in general, especially the national level ones. I have worked in government for 20+ years. Both sides have their networks of crony friends that they bring in whenever they take over, who have gotten rich off of the taxpayers. In my state, as the Democrats are usually the ones in charge, their network is pretty well established... almost always the same faces, no matter how good or bad they are at their job. The best head of state, and worst, that I've worked for were ironically (or not!) the two Republicans. Back to the national level, you should not have to look any further than the Pelosis to see how knowledge of what the government is up to helps make their friends and family members rich. * SLMR 2.1a * My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air... --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
