14. It really was only a matter of time before they trotted that one back out
The truly odd part of Republican ideology is that they speak of capitalism and what not but seem wholly unfamiliar with Adam Smith's statement that the rich should be taxed at a higher rate than the poor. They don't believe in that as evidenced by elements within their party calling for flat taxes, something which obviously contradicts what the founder of capitalism said we should do.

It comes as no surprise, though. They also pretend to be the party of biblical beliefs but they pick and choose what they like from there as well.
