That may not be the stated intent, but it is the actual effect.

The GOP is trying, badly, to shrink govt and create a business friendly climate for econ growth. In so doing, the rich will profit, as they always do. The GOP can't stop the rich from doing so. The rich will always get richer because once you're rich, you have capital, and once you have a lot of capital, its easy to make more money with it.

So the GOP does feed the rich. As for fucking the poor, you only have to look at the budget cuts the Senate tried to pass just before Christmas, which were aimed principally at Medicaid, Medicare and student loan programs, and ask who bears the burden of those cuts.
The GOP does not bother to try to argue these do not disproportionally affect the poor. Rather, they try to argue that in the long run, the poor will be better off as a result of economic growth stimulated by less government. Sort of "We're fucking the poor, but only for the short term".
The GOP can't even shrink government - under the bush administration, it's grown. This is the cornerstone of their theory of governance, and they can't even get started doing it. At best, the GOP is incompetent. So tell me again why you vote for them.
