    They are not suffering cognitive dissonance, you are in trying to understand them.

    Rush Limbaugh is known to tip 50% at restaurants, but flies into a broadcast tirade if even half that dollar amount is deducted from his paycheck by “The Government.” That’s despite the fact that the money helps that very same single mom he had no problem tipping in her capacity as a waitress.

    What is the Monkeysphere explains much of this thought, and describes how fucked we humans are in large groups. (OLD article and the formatting screwed, read it anyway.)
