Flame » in reply to Most middle class conservatives are not satisfied with the government dole

Yeah, I have those too.

But the "dole", as you so cavalierly dismiss it, is my income and working capital. And so far I haven't had to dip into savings.

But the only reason I have any savings is because I went to college, and had good jobs all my life. And the only reason I could do that is because I went to a state-supported school on the GI Bill and bought my house with a VA loan. As for that 401(k), you know how that works: a government insured tax-deferred savings plan administered by the government. If you do your accounting honestly, you will see the middle class has benefited handsomely from government programs, probably even you. It's not just the welfare queens.

Besides, I'm not a middle class conservative. I'm a working class liberal. That tends to make a big difference in one's outlook on life.
No one sees the world as it is, we see it as we are.
