Sherrod Brown is running against this guy. I thank that guy for explicitly articulating the GQPer philosophy that low income people are stupid and lazy and deserve no help from the government.

Senate Republican claims poor people 'not experienced at navigating the real world'
Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) claimed in an interview released on Tuesday that low-income people don't know how to "navigate the real world" because they're too dependent on the government just handing them money."People living in poverty are just not very experienced at navigating the real world...

I became a fan when he was among the first, high profile Republicans in Congress to say, definitively, that the 2020 election wasn't stolen.

They don't even bother to buy boots with bootstraps. They would rather spend their money on lottery tickets, cigarettes, and liquor. And now they are hurting because of the cost of gas to fill up their Cadillacs.
Affordability is a hoax, there are no poor people.

"Sen. Jon Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget ... the buzzword today, let's face it, is 'affordability.'"
Since Republicans have fully taken over the Ohio state government, they have repeatedly cut state income tax at the expense of education. Some wealthier, mostly suburban districts have increased property taxes to offset the reduction in state funding, but poorer districts in the rural counties and bigger cities with more poverty have been unable to make up those cuts. So Husted is complaining about a situation he has been fully complicit in creating and perpetuating.
