[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read some article a while ago about how this really poor southern town, predominately white, hated Democrats, but most of these folks were on welfare.  This would be what OP is referring to.  I'm Asian, well to do, Republic-turned-Independent (thanks Bush), and I don't understand why these folks hate Democrats so much given that most Republicans always want to cut welfare.[/quote]

Why were they on welfare?    Because they didn't want to work (love democrats) or because there were no jobs (Trump will fix).   Get it?[/quote]

It was under the Reagan administration when the factory jobs started going down south.. get it?  And some of these people are generational welfare recipients. Even if they do want jobs, they don't want to have to work for it, as in get an education.  In a free market economy, companies have the right to move their ops anywhere they want to.   But, they want the gov't to change the laws so they can have those jobs where you move a widget from point a to point b then push a button; get good healthcare and a pension.  So, they want a President, ie, the gov't, to get all those things for them.

So, it's not that they don't like big gov't, it's that they want big gov't when it suits them, but not when it doesn't suit them.

Get it?[/quote]
