11. Greed, pride, cruelty, and stupidity

Greed is the mindset that my taxes are going to your student loan payments, despite the fact that, even adjusted for inflation, the costs of education have skyrocketed. They have skyrocketed because these same people don't want to pay for an educated workforce either, despite the fact that if they are investors or companies they benefit directly and indirectly from that same educated workforce.

Pride comes in because the Magats do not want the Democrats to have any successful initiatives, because it makes the Republican mode of shrinking government in a bathtub mindset look as stupid as it is, and of course, benefits others that are less important than these Magats.

Cruelty comes from the delight in owning the libs, because, the libs are of course evil commie scum.

Stupidity should be obvious.
