Alas, Wolfe had major support from the big cities and their union masters.

The cities have large free stuff populations and incredibly stupid voters who fall for the “tax the rich” line every time. That last part always amazes me. Democrats have used that line for decades and every time it's been tried, it's caused major economic adversity for “the poor” and the “hard working middle class” the Democrats claim they care about. You would think by now voters would realize that “taxing the rich” doesn't work. But these people have IQs equal to their shoe size and the Democrats know it.

It amazes me how many of my Pittsburgh area neighbors...who are mainly Catholic and socially rather conservative...continue to religiously pull the handle for Democrats because they’ve been steeped all their life in union propaganda which dates back to the 1930’s.

Exactly why the Founding Fathers said that only property owners could vote. Too many voters nowadays are Gimmedats who have no skin in the game. Under that law, I myself would not have been a voter because I owned no real property for a number of years. But I can’t think of one bit of harm that would have befallen the Country if I had been temporarily prevented from voting.

Lets not forget the elderly population. While not all of them are democrat, large swaths vote dem/union because it is ingrained.
