I'm not taking a side here. It's hard to deny that Democrats like to give a lot of shit to poor people. Raising minimum wages, pushing health care, longer terms for unemployment, more tax breaks for poor, welfare, and so on.

I'm just saying that if I was making $35,000 a year and had two kids, I would get more from the policies of Democrats than Republicans. That doesn't make that policy right for this country as a whole or fair, just means that the poorer people will benefit more.
