They haven’t had to move in that direction.
Who’s going to lead them?
Why would they follow?
They get everything for free. Just for breathing air. How do you negotiate responsibility from their standpoint? What carrot would you possibly be able to offer over ‘free everything’?
When they try to cash their $100 billion welfare check and can’t by half a dozen eggs with it,
that’s when they’ll start to figure things out.
That’s the thing.
Someone on their side needs to step up and say “you need to work for your selves, the same as everyone else - no more freebies”.
That is what Obama’s presidency has enabled.
I do not however see Obama stepping up to that role. Quite the opposite, he panders badly to the exact opposite.
I believe nothing will improve now, until we elect a new president.
I could be wrong, but I see zero sign of any additional progress before 2016.
