    “We can’t help people in other countries, we need to spend that money helping the people at home!”

    “We can’t help those people at home, they’re illegal! We need to spend our money on our own citizens.”

    “Those people are legal but they don’t deserve to be helped, they’re poor which means they are lazy, if they want their circumstances to improve they should get an education and a real job and pull themselves up by their bootstraps like all good Americans before them!”

    “We have to give these corporations billions to bail them out, if we don’t our entire economy will crumble and normal people will suffer. You don’t want that now do you? No they aren’t going to raise pay and yes some layoffs may still occur, they’re struggling, ok? Stop complaining about the raise their CEO just got, he’s working hard to get them through this rough time!”
