Republicans do want to throw money at the ultrarich. They are using the power of the federal government to transfer wealth from the middle and even the upper middle class to the ultrarich either directly or indirectly through megacorporations.

- Medicare Bill
- Bankruptcy Bill
- Tax cuts
- Estate tax cuts
- AMT
- War
- Energy Bill
- Tort 'reform'

At the same time, they wish to transfer risk from the ultrarich to everyone else. The division between rich and poor in the US of A is the widest it has been since the gilded age of the robber barons.

Republicans seek not only to implement this transfer but to codify it.
