You must be brighter than me. I have not seen one of my tenants move right in thier thinking. The entitlements they all get seem to be a career choice to be handed down. I will start paying closer attention so as to observe the move to the right. I have some third generation welfare people with subsidized rent, food stamps, wic, etc. How long before I see the move? If they don't make a move soon, me and a bunch of other business people will be forced to throw in the towel due to taxes and regulations.
In my part of the country, the money has run out and the state isn't going into debt to continue the bennies so even the eternal dole recipiants are getting hit.
I primarily referred, however, to the formerly working poor and middle class - many of whom are showing up in conservative churches for the first time in their lives.
Here in the Sherman/Dennison area, many of the evangelical churches are experiencing explosive growth.
I go to a small outreach church intended to reach drug users and alcoholics and lead them to a saving relationship with Christ. I have seen a lot of people working on changing themselves who (I suspect) would not be persevering were their economic prospects up to keeping them in the nigh perpetual state of inebriation they were in before.
