Okay, I know marketing isn't the only reason. It's been the dems unending push to provide "free stuff" for the "poor and minorities". With that came the notion, that they constantly engender, that only the dems give them "free stuff" and "care".

So, mostly it IS marketing - with tax dollars no less - that they have convinced the poor and minorities that only THEY have given them "free stuff".

I really think “marketing” is a good description but needs a modifier like “snake oil,” “scare tactics,” “coercive ,” whatever.
