Penury doesn’t automatically predispose one to Marxism. Some people regardless of income feel it’s shameful to live at the expense of others, or to make government the instrument of their envy.
Howdy !!!!!!!!!!!!

No, the browbeaters on our side try to shame people into voting for cheap labor importers who are undermining the rule of law, American sovereignty and wages of the working poor.
What's the Matter With Kansas was just a re-statement of Lenin's 1905 work, What Is To Be Done?
Cold in your neck of the woods? We are up to a balmy 26 degrees but it’s been much worse recently.
Most “poor whites”, even ones with little or no education, know a scam when they see one. They have enough common sense to know “indentured servitude” when they see it.
My Dad’s favorite saying was, “You are only enslaved to the extent of charity that you receive!” It’s true, and I’ve always tried to live by that.
By being beholding to no man, or government, people can think for themselves. Poor whites seem to find power in being independent, poor blacks seem to want to huddle in groups and all mimic a central leader, I.e. Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.
Independence is what America is all about, freedom is one of the results.
Assuming that rich or poor is an indicator of intelligence is wrong. I’d rather know that the real fruits of my labor are freedom and independence, not mansions or BMW’s.
Lazy libs seem to think life is about throwing themselves at people like Obama and holding on for dear life, when in fact, they are just candy wrappers, to be tossed and discarded when the candy (votes, support) are all gone.
Libs are easy prey for con men fawning of that welfare check he drags through their neighborhood.
It’s not even so much the negative “don’t want to be a burden.” It’s the positive “want room to grow and to be free while doing it.”
I don't understand what that has to do with GOP infighting.
Well that’s oversimplifying things. There’s charity which has a face, and which even God advocates, and then there is the machine-like, political spoils modern dole, which if it does good it does so by circumstance, not by design.
There is no genuine shame in accepting charity with a view to being in a position to be not only self sufficient but being able to help someone else as soon as possible. It hurts our prides, but God is not interested in our prides.
About the same here....but it has been quite cold,and more snow coming.
I just got in and everyone is clearing roofs-ours was done last week.
I STILL wouldn’t want to live in Florida,though. The Northern climes are in my blood...and boy,do we appreciate spring.

Poor whites realize that open borders policies of liberals depress their wages and take away their jobs.
Democrats are offering free stuff to the poor.
The poor white voter knows nothing is free someone has to pay for it and that is what keeps them poor.
Poor Whites are becoming disillusioned with both parties.
Liberals place self interests, especially when it comes to money, above everything else. What shocks them is that everyone is not the same as them and actually care about others.
Why do American Jews vote for the anti-Semitic, Israel-hating, pro mooslime party?”
Why do middle class whites vote Democrat? The white billionaires want to keep other folks down, the ghetto blacks want their free stuff, but why do the folks who have to pay for the ghetto stuff and lose small businesses due to government regulation vote for Democrats?
I feel sure you will appreciate this wisdom.
“The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” Aristotle
I’ve heard the repeated joke about the libertarian showing up at the GM plant, where people say they vote Democrat because Democrats are pro-union, and the libertarian says, “Maybe, but a lot of you have trucks with gun racks on the back out in the parking lot, and the Democrats want to take the gas guzzlers and the guns away - which is why you ought to vote for me.”
