They aren’t slaves. They are willing participants in feeding at the government trough. People don’t run for Congress to do public good. They run for Congress to enrich themselves, families and supporters. So the President’s budget proposal gores a lot of oxes. This is why he is hated by so many not only on the Left, but on the Right as well.
He's just the object of their hate, a convenient target to rail against, someone upon whom they can spew their venom. They really hate US. We the people who had the audacity to elect an outsider who we expect to change the power structure in our capital. we're the ones they really, really hate.
