And your comment illustrates the difference between Democrats and Republican voters. I will lump the Libertarians in with the Republicans on this as they match on this topic.
I do not want help from Government! Never have... never will. I want a neutered government with limited powers and abilities.
Government should not be dictating wages.
Government should not be providing health care... This is not the role of the federal government. If a state chooses to be a socialist utopia... rock on. I will then be able to move and not deal with it. Choice... Freedom of movement to make a decision as to what is best for me and my loved ones.
Your entire comment is, "Give me free shit... and bill someone else for my life". This is a new phenomenon since FDR and makes people subservient to mommy. Which is and was the goal... as the more people on the 'payroll' the more people will vote to keep that check and benefits coming.... Until the people footing the bill stop paying and leave.
When I was making $7000 a year out of highschool I did not vote Democrat and when I made my first million I was not voting Democrat. Still not voting Democrat... I knew the principles of each of party and I am one who is about self-empowerment not of victim politics. The best thing you can do for a person is have jobs available and opportunity to succeed. Handouts and class warfare will never accomplish this.
