    The actual rich who control our society aren’t paying out the ass, they’re the ones being paid.

    Rank and file “working class” conservatives are deliberately poorly educated and fed endless propaganda to get them to vote against their interests and in favor of the rich.

    Conservatives of moderate wealth, the “middle class” of small business tyrants and boat salesmen, live in constant abject terror of losing what they have. They know that if wealth were distributed equally, their quality of life would go down. As a result, they fight against any change towards redistribution of wealth, even if it would be beneficial.

    It’s an edit. The original has one guy saying 6, the other saying 9, because the creator naively thought “oh the political divide is really just down to people not understanding each other”. This is a fairly common opinion of dipshit american centrists.

    The edited version points out how this is incorrect, and that in reality different people have entirely different political views which cannot be reconciled. The example used is that rich people (the same ones that make up the US government and receive bribes from health insurance companies, for instance) want to keep making money from predatory health insurance and so oppose universal healthcare, while the average citizen supports universal healthcare.
