That is not exactly the way I see it. GWB thought he could buy love. But there was a theory about this they were telling republicans that home ownership creates conservatives, ownership society. That backfired beyond belief. He turned the country side into suburbs and democrat.

Because it's ownership only if you've actually earned it yourself.

RE :”Because it's ownership only if you've actually earned it yourself. “

My theory is government assistance corrupts the soul. It creates a loyalty to government like to parents, or God . The support of redistribution, say tax increases or printing money, is then viewed as PERSONAL generosity. (A liberal manager recently told me, "I am willing to pay more taxes"). What people think is either : " The gov helped me, why not everyone? " or " The gov helps everyone, why not me? "

God becomes gov.
