“It is all in the math. Think about it.”
I have. At length. I’m still more optimistic than pessimistic. In spite of the fact that I think national divorce is coming. In spite of the fact that the 47% or 49% or 53% are moochers off the rest of society.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t save the world, but I can influence that tiny corner that I and my family live in. And I expect that with God’s grace, we will both survive and prosper.
To be sure though, some of those 53 $ who are Obama supporters, at least in their claims, are those who have worked since they were kids and through high school and college and vote Obama because they are so much more compassionate and are much more socially aware of their need to give up their money to help the less privileged, while conservatives and libertarians have been sheltered too much and do not realize that in America there are people with less privilege and cannot make it on their own.
And yes, I hear this pretty much every single time political and cultural discussions of any kind come up.
