This is exactly the point I made in another thread earlier in the week that went relatively unnoticed.
I believe we're truly on the tipping point....anymore "poor" and dependent on the govt dole, and there will be too many dependents voting for every goddamned tax hike and entitlement program under the sun.
there'll be no stopping 'em, and it'll be the final stake through the heart of the middle class.
We're in deep, deep fucking trouble, and those statistics are very relevant to the way this country will turn out....not in decades, but a mere few years.
I disagree.
There are not enough "poor" and "dependant" and others on the dole who actually vote in the numbers needed to command the tptala needed to win an election.
The real trouble is that some otherwise responsible hard working people feel sorry for and/or think the government ought to help everyone who "can't help themselves" end up voting these people into office.
Case in point are people like my Mother and Father-in-law who have worked hard all their lives, have supported their families, been responsible to themselves and others when it called for it....etc. etc. Yet they swoon for and vote Democrat....I just don't get it...They vote for people who implement polcies that ultimately harm them.
Fortunately, (not in their case) but in the case of a lot of American's I think people are starting to wake up and see what the Democrat (and some Republican) end game is.
I hope we reach that tipping point of a resurgence of "personal responsibility" soon. (me crossing fingers and praying).
