I, honest to the absent gods, do not understand why. Are their billionaire lords really that zero-sum based? Are they just that horrified that a not-entirely-white president might accomplish something? Is it that they really internalized Ayn Rand's dictum "Sharing is for suckers"?

I think they are that horrified. They've been trying to get him impeached since the day he was elected; some of them have even admitted that they will oppose anything he is for, just because he is for is, and that they are willing to wreck the economy just to be able to blame it on him. They are insane.
