I read that the Dems believe they have this wrapped up and they will own House, Senate and Prez come January. They have even come public with what they plan to spend (our) money on. One social program and giveaway after another - as if the Government doesn't spend enough on that.
I then took a step back and thought about what these people are doing and why. They were elected to a position to take our tax dollars and give them to the less advantaged. Sounds noble? Well, we didn't voluntarily give them our money and are the recipients really benefiting from the gift. If the recipients are continually given gifts that keep them perpetually just above poverty then what incentive will they ever have pull themselves up and making something of themselves on their own? In most cases none. So while the permanent underclass is kept down, the political class continues to keep their power, take from the achievers and give to the underclass.
Can you imagine if a politician said that there would be no more handouts because in the long term they don't benefit the recipients? Not in this lifetime. As long as there is largess coming into the treasury there will be politicians using it to expand their power. Life 101.
