Republican support for the wealthy---but not those pesky unemployed working class folks

From The Washington Post: A Republican plan to extend tax cuts for the rich would add more than $36 billion to the federal deficit next year -- and transfer the bulk of that cash into the pockets of the nation's millionaires, according to a congressional analysis released Wednesday. New data from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation show that households earning more than $1 million a year would reap nearly $31 billion in tax breaks under the GOP plan in 2011, for an average tax cut per household of about $100,000. Nice. Very nice. They railed against extending unemployment benefits for the longest time ostensibly for "adding to the the deficit" and it wasn't nearly this large an amount of money. And they don't get the hypocrisy or disconnect. How is anyone--but the wealthy--supporting these people?
