Would you be in favor of legislation that benefits you personally but harms a majority of the population?

I'm educated, articulate, intelligent, lib and pragmatic which means I want as many facts as possible to sway my convictions and I don't care where the facts come from. Conversely, cons are opinionated. They don't want facts disagreeing w/ how they already made up their mind. I want what's in the country's best interest and will turn on any politician who needs to be held accountable. 

Nope but Republicans only care about pleasing the elites!

No. It would need to be what is good for the country. And most Republicans feel the same.

No way. Thought this for decades. Some brains are better than others.

like when Obama's "signature legislation" produced billions in taxpayer-subsidized profits for Big Banks, Big Insurance and the other major donors to his wealthy old faction of the DNC while the rest of the country suffered through stagnation, rising poverty and record joblessness?

True, that is what the left supports.  

Patriotic people don't support those kinds of Democrat laws, which benefit the few wealthy Democrats while harming the majority of the people.

Have some more Kool Aid.

Tell you what.   We will levy a 95% tax on all of your income and possessions, and we will give it to homeless third world children.  I'm not sure how much you have, but I'm sure that it can feed hundreds of the poor unfortunates, and the only one it harms is you.

It's a lot easier to give away someone else's money, isn't it?
