I am an old woman and as far back as I can remember the democrats have always said they are the party for the poor !!!!
IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY ARE THERE MORE "POOR PEOPLE" THAN EVER TODAY? YOU ALWAYS SAY YOU ARE FOR THE POOR. YES YOU ARE, YOU WANT TO KEEP "POOR" PEOPLE POOR, BECAUSE YOU WANT THEM TO KEEP VOTING FOR YOU.
WAKE UP POOR PEOPLE, THE DEMOCRATS ARE ONLY FOR "THEMSELVES!!"
Before you say I am probaly a rich Republican, You are right, I am a Republican, HOWEVER THERE IS NO ONE THAT WAS RAISED POORER THEN MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF, BUT OUR PARENTS ALWAYS TOLD US WE COULD OVERCOME ANYTHING AS LONG AS WE DID NOT GIVE INTO THE "GIMMEE" GAME. WE ARE LIVING ON S.S. AND A SMALL PENSION NOW, NOT RICH, BUT THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND WE KNOW WE EARNED IT. GOD BLESS, YOU CAN OVERCOME TOO.

I just wanted to say good morning and to congratulate your parents for their very good advice and you for taking it. They kept some very good company.

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” - Thomas Jefferson

The real freedom of any individual can always be measured by the amount of responsibility, which he must assume for his own welfare and security. Robert Welch - Author

Government means politics, and interference by government carries with it always the implication of coercion. We may accept the expanding power of bureaucrats so long as we bask in the friendly smile. But it is a dangerous temptation. Today politics may be our friend, and tomorrow we may be its victims. Owen Young - Author

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." James Madison, 1794

A little heavier but no less true,

"Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
