Of course the Dems know it, in fact its how they get their votes..they let their constituents live in FILTH, throw them some welfare and food stamps, then come around during election day and say “VOTE FOR ME I LOVE U” and 90 percent of them will re-elect the same buffoon who lets them live in filth
Actually they say "if you vote for the Republican, (s)he'll take away your
welfare and your food stamps and kick you into the street."
It's fear not love that those bastards peddle to their constituents.
