They sort of think it's the "Christian" thing to do to make some people suffer, but not Republicans, themselves. They would not want to live on minimum wage, but don't want to lift wages for others that have to do that.

What is the word for that? Oh yes, the word that describes all Republicans everywhere: hypocrites.
