Trickle-down Economics proves my point. Since Reagan, the Republican Party has been about themselves in that exact moment an nothing else is considered. Every single one of their policies displays this thinking.

For example: They all loved the PATRIOT ACT until it bit them in the ass. Now they scream about government privacy invasion and Big Brother.

Republicans have few operational brain cells. The few they have left seem to be concerned about where they can get food, sex or money.
