Consider for a moment that (1) a majority, or at least a very large plurality, of Americans distrust the government, and (2) guns and religion are expressions / tools / proxies for self-reliance.  Asking voters to trust that the government will take care of them is always going to be a hard sell (particularly if government agencies will be in control of the resources offered), but those doing the selling make it even harder by simultaneously disparaging the tools of self-reliance.

Indeed.

Stop and ask why people are feeling so desperate that they look to religion, violence, and ultimately drugs when neither works to lift them out of their situations. I’m not going to stop caring. Focus on helping.  They wouldn’t cling so hard if they felt secure.  [/quote]

Best of luck with the offer to provide government welfare in exchange for god and guns.  Alternatively, there are private charitable institutions that would welcome additional volunteered time and resources.[/quote]

Tax credits are welfare?

But only when they benefit poor kids, not energy companies. [/quote]
