GOP: Super-Rich > 9/11 Responders

Apparently, the super-rich are highest on the Republican’s priority list, even higher than the 9/11 first responders they claim to love so much. “Since when does the Republican party make 9/11 first responders stand over in the corner with the gays and Mexicans?” Can it be more obvious that Republican’s core principle = money?
