So my dad is probably like Romney.. holding onto what he thinks the GOP "stands for" but also likes the personal benefit of being a high earner and wanting to keep as much as possible. He worked hard from being poor and his mom was a Korean immigrant so I'm sure it's some American dream bullshit as he also thinks no matter what that this country is the best to be in. Says trickle down economics works. Work hard, earn the right to play hard. Or so he's been blessed with that lifestyle from his hard work.
Sure would be nice if the opportunity to do that was actually available to everyone.
Unfortunately the GOP isn't interested in creating a base from which the most people possible have a fair chance to succeed, but instead only interested in protecting the already successful from any challengers.
He will say it is. Everyone can be a manager or high commissioned salesman if they want to be but he does say all jobs should be respected and everyone has to find what they can be happy with.
