Honestly, how can Republicans call themselves patriots when would rather give the money to the rich, who continually drain the country dry with impunity, than to those who gave of themselves to help others. I understand that we need to limit and pay down our deficit, but what the Republicans seem to want is to grow the deficit and give all the money to corporations and the super-rich. They are like the anti-Robin Hood. Maybe it's time we need a real Robin Hood.
