(The Huffington Post) — Like Jon Stewart, I had an “I give up” moment last week watching the extraordinary spectacle of House Republicans denying health benefits to 9/11 responders because — they claimed — they were outraged that to pay for it, the bill called for closing a loophole that benefited tax-dodging multi-national corporations. It is old news, of course, that the GOP would engage in this kind of depravity, but the underlying dynamic here is worth pointing out — the party’s deep hatred and contempt for non-privileged Americans (i.e, about 98 percent of the population).
