Republicans, do you think your outlooks correlate with judging a person's worth by how much money they have? ?

Question

I've noticed that a lot of Republican's thought processes correlate with how much money a person has: If they have more money, they made better decisions in life; if they need money, they are lazy bums who didn't work hard. There are a lot of correlations with the Republican party's party-line messages and love of money. How do they differentiate their pursuit of wealth and outlooks towards the poor with abhorring a love of money, which is the root of all evil?

I constantly run into dialog that correlates a lack of wealth with a person's worth; do they not notice this as a party? Whenever they are against helping people, they use derogatory language like they are stealing their money and wanting "handouts", while they are hardworking people who deserve what they have. They derogatorily talk about the poor and how they made bad choices they need to live with since they lack wealth, but they made excellent choices since they have it. If you work at a low-income job, they call you lazy, or you would have a job that pays more money.

The linking attribute is "more money makes you a better person" in their psychology. Do they realize they are doing this or rationalize it away with justifications and alternate perspectives?

Republican distain for the poor is a fact. When I was small, my parents come home from church and had a nice dinner and then they'd take us to the park. They taught me to be kind to everyone. Their president was Eisenhower, who felt a spiritual calling to show mercy and strive for equality, defend the disenfranchised, and tax the super-wealthy. But they turned into Goldwater Republicans. Their sociopolitical philosophy changed; they equated money with all things good. For many years I rejected their faith because of them, then found faith without them. You correctly attribute their attitude to what another question posed as "plutocracy." Money rules them to the point that they wield it as a weapon and shield. They tout their success and disrespect the poor except when they "put on" charity as a ruse to boost ego.  We know what Christ said about love of money and the importance of anonymous good deeds. The new ethic violates the foundations of American decency.

We dont share our kindness and money with people who are for rioting, murder, destruction of property,  the democrats and liberals who support that kind of behavior should be removed from society
