a pertinent biblical quote: He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich–both come to poverty. Proverbs 22:16

Though the poverty the Good Book speaks of is a poverty of the soul. Seems too many Americans ignore those parts of the Bible.

I still believe that aspies should know better, than to worship the wealthy.

Nah, I'll just quote your hypocritical ass next time you try to paint Trump supporters as inclined towards violence, or try to claim that you were just minding your business when a bunch of "bullies" decided to set upon you; you can't cry about being beat up when you keep picking the fights.

I don;t pick fights. Like I said, the Usual Suspects were going to gang up on me.

The news here has been reporting that Governor Snyder withheld emails and other evidence from Congress to save his hide.

Conservative values, economy, anti Obama feelings.
It also partially driven by Democrats and others expanding the government to help the public.

The House is drilling Snyder today.

I can't shake the feeling that Snyder will not only NOT be punished in any way but that he'll be rewarded somehow.

And if he does get off Scott free, certain people here on WP to the right (or who pretend to be liberal, even though their posts indicate otherwise) will be cheering and crowing how he's been vindicated.

Very simple. The city is mostly poor or black folks and few give a damn about them.

There is something very broken about the way things work politically.
