"Let them eat cake."

Republicans have completely lost touch with reality. No more is this more obvious than with Rand Paul's pronouncement this week that extending unemployment benefits is a disservice to jobless individuals. Having so little faith in the American people, he assumes that given these benefits, the out- of-work person will not seek employment. What a sad cynic he is.  Having no faith in people as he does, he would just as soon cut off any financial support that would help those seeking employment to pay their rent, feed their families, and retain some kind of dignity while they search for that elusive job.
No, he would rather put them in desperate straits. Leave them without any income and any chance of employment. Like Limbaugh, Ryan, Romney and all these other wealthy Republican silver spooners, they cannot identify with the working class and only wish to see those who are struggling struggle even more. What repulsive snobs infest the GOP.

Follow up: Shortly after his remarks Doofus Rand Paul went to Detroit to woo black voters, whom the Republicans detest (along with Latinos and women)  but need to win elections. It seems his speech in the Motor City was reasonably well-attended, by predominantly white Republicans.
