Looks like these reporters have missed the entirety of reddit, there is plenty of criticism there, from what I’m assuming amounts to thousands or millions of people.


The article seems to be about how the political response from conservatives seems to be muted, making the point that all their talk about small government, no regulation, and the evils of socialism appear to vanish the moment the people who need government assistance are millionaires and not common folk.


It's always fun to imagine how partisan people would react if the other side was in power, said the same things and did the same things in the same situation. Their reaction would be very different.


While I definitely don't make a habit of defending conservatives, when they were concerned about the fed "picking winnners" the winners the fed picked were generally the millionaires.


But if the government picks winners, they might pick the wrong millionaires, instead of "all millionaires".
