Why do Republicans always try to get rid of things that help out the little guy?

[taryn31]

They're being paid meager wages just to talk of their disloyalty.

how arrogant and assholish of you to think the little guy needs or wants your help.......

They were put here by God for us to exploit, so we do.

I could get on board with blaming the republicans for all this if democrats weren't putting the screw to the little guy at the same time. The little guy is getting "head and heeled" by the two party system.

Where has all that ended up out of that "96%" increase? When we follow the money, we find that the final destination has a very distinct bipartisan atmosphere.

But I get it, you are one of those people that feel the need to champion the moral superiority of one party over the other and refuse to hit them both with the same stick. Things might change if people like you got the hell out of the way, but I won't hold my breath.

Doctors began to double what they charged back in the 70's due to sudden extreme rise in the cost of malpractice insurance. I can only imagine what hospitals pay for this insurance. Putting a cap on the amount that can be won by these would reduce costs to all of us. If a doctor destroys a person's ability to work through malpractice or ruins their lives, they should pay a lot, no doubt about it but other law suits are just not worth the amount they are awarded. Then it is appealed, and appealed until the amount becomes reasonable. I wastes a lot of time and money.

This isn't only medical malpractice. I remember the woman who was initially awarded a million due to McDonald's coffee temperature and another man who sued a dry cleaner a million for losing a pair of his pants. The legal fees put the dry cleaner out of business even though they won the case due to the attorney fees. This kind of thing shouldn't happen.
