we, as a nation, have gone so far to the right that anyone who makes less money than we do is someone to be looked down on and treated as 'not quite human'. Since it is no longer acceptable to publicly put down blacks, orientals, Irish, Italians, Germans, women, LGBT or any other not male white protestant, the only group left that we are allowed to publicly feel superior to is anyone poorer than 'us'.

Not sure what we are going to do when we get to the point where most people just accept everyone as just another human being. The right wing will probably just explode.

So, until we can manage to get closer to that ideal, then by all means, pass the bill and good for New Mexico!!
