3. They know what most Americans don't: trickle-down economics will destroy the American economy

but put billions in their coffers. By the time the economy collapses under Republicans' watch, and they've taken as much as they can take, they'll support another Democrat in the White House and Democrats in Congress to clean up the catastrophe...and the vicious cycle continues as we're played as pawns on their giant chessboard.

It's all about getting theirs now until there's nothing left to get, then turn power over to Dems for a couple of years to institute laws to fix their gaping holes, and then push for Republicans to win elections again and take back power. Didn't notice that during 2009-2010?
