Conservatives and Republican politicians like to say “if we don’t stop the Dems in the next election, we will become a European Socialist Welfare State.” We need to stop fooling ourselves — we are now there. Half the population lives off one type of handout or another. Most of the income taxes to pay for it are paid for by the top 5% or 10%. Of course people aren’t working and businesses aren’t expanding. That’s what happens in a European Socialist Welfare State. The cost is too high, both to start a business and to employ people.

The execrable Thad Cochran's campaign successfully appealed to black democrat voters by threatening them with loss of their welfare checks, taxpayer funded lunches, and other funds stolen at gunpoint from the Productive Class if they didn't vote for him.
