Why is the Republican party so content with denying healthcare as a human right, and trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance? Like… How do they do it? How much are we talking here when we speak about tax savings for them?
Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?
Does money reduce empathy or is lack of empathy just a serious advantage in acumulating money?
Yes.
But foremost, money makes you an asshole, as measured with people who had little/no control over their wealth (e.g. lottery winners.)
Or those were previously just assholes without money? Nice people who win the lottery likely don’t stay rich for long because they use that money to help people they know.
One of several studies:

So I read the study, first of all the paper aknowledges that there’s a several point swing in voting preference between non winners and people who won less than £500 which strongly implies people who play the lottery are more likely to vote right wing to begin with. Secondly even for large wins the swing was only around 18%. At worst money does not make everyone a bad person, more like 1/5 people.
So you read one study, and didn’t know social science are about mean changes overe a population and not absolute changes on individuals.
Good start, now I’ll let you dig some more on the issue.
