In my opinion, that is where the Democrat Party jumped the shark.
Having everyone so dependent on govt. takes that away from people.
In a perfect world, I would love to see that. To be honest, I don't see much of either happening. Trump just got into office, so he might change things, but there are many experts who say Trump's plans will only serve to raise the cost of goods and won't really bring that many jobs back. Maybe they are wrong. I guess we are going to find out.

I will agree 100% with you that the Democrats have fully jumped the shark on this. It wasn't too long ago that they were the party of the blue collar worker, fighting for higher pay, better benefits, and better jobs. Now they are the party of the political incorrectness.
