I think there is an unbelievable enmity for many people to anyone who seems to get something for nothing. School lunches, welfare, medical care, they hate the people who get that. And frankly, when I saw a mother and daughter with welfare credit cards and the mother showing the daughter how to use it I get a little peeved, too. (Mother had a brood with her, daughter looked to be 14, or younger and was clearly pregnant, and both women were accompanied by what looked to be healthy virile men.)

Anyway, many of the middle and lower middle class will side with those who would eliminate those benefits. And what they don't realize is that the upper middle and upper class benefit far, far more from government giveaways.

One conservative I read was bitching about his kids having to repay student loans. And still he's a staunch, Ayn Rand, do it yourself conservative. I don't understand how people can live with themselves as they advocate one philosophy and live another. It's really a puzzlement.
