These are the GOPe types who are militant on only one issue, taxes, especially estate taxes. They want to protect their stash, often the money made for them by their grandfathers. Lacking fat inheritances, conservatives are passionate about preserving liberty for their children, the best thing they can leave them.
A most astute observation!!! Well said.
It reminds me of the times (before an election) when George Bush would show up at NASCAR, chomping on pork rinds. I’m sure he is a nice and decent man (my Dem friends love him as a “model” Republican, always “one of the few” they respect) but I always wondered whether that was due to the fact that outside of foreign policy, he was totally ineffective.
