Simple....The liberals have engineered a class of people(black, white, hispanic,) who expect the government to improve their lives. Those programmed idiots are forever waiting for their next handout. They THINK it will come from those who claim to offer it to them. When their lives don't improve as they were promised, the liberals blame it on the conservatives and the whole cycle repeats.
The horrifying truth is that government has no role in improving the quality of a person's life. That concept is so foreign to that engineered group of voting socialists, that they would rather stand in a line for free cheese and lottery tickets than do for themselves.
You are so right it is scary. We own a small business and so do many of our friends. Unreal that employees think that work is just 'too hard' and go back on welfare rather than work.
