Oh, they do…
and they don’t care.
They are hell-bent on creating a neofeudal christofascist society run by white men.
Who needs education? Certainly not the peonage… they don’t need good schools, nor do they need libraries. They only need the Good Book, specifically the Southern Baptist version that tells them to accept their lot in life & obey their masters.
Similarly, the peonage doesn’t need health care, since, if the Good Lord saw fit to inflict sickness or injury upon a peon, why, that peon must have displeased the Lord, somehow. so one less sinner in the world is a good thing.
As far as that goes, prosperity is a sure sign of the Good Lord’s favor; therefore, peons deserve their fate in life, so there is no need to waste valuable resources on them…
Keep in mind that all GOP ‘lawmakers’ don’t see themselves as mere ‘representatives’ in a demcratic society.
They see themselves as RULERS by divine right, and will stop at nothing to keep it that way.
