I think most southern white conservatives side with the top 1% against their own best interests.

BS. That's only true if the alternative it better for their interests. Unfortunately it is not. The liberal vote-buyers are buying their votes on the backs of the working middle class. Sure the top 1% are greedy. They always find a way to pass their "burden" onto the middle class. So taxing the rich to benefit the poor is too simplistic. There is way too much wealth concentrated into the portfolios of the top 1%, no doubt. If we want to up their contribution, let's find a way to make it stick. Also, the liberals, if they were truly for helping the poor, would find more incentives for them to break free from government dependence. Instead, the only incentives they are enabling are to vote Democrat.

PS, I don't side with the NFL on this stuff. They are trying to minimize their exposure, instead of helping the guys who helped to build their brand.
