re: Why should I be a liberal /Democrat?

quote:

---

But poor people keep voting these Democrats into office because they use it as a carrot at the end of the stick for their own personal gain.

---

quote:

---

An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.

Interestingly, the median household income in the United States is $49,777 — right near the point where the Democratic advantage disappears and the Republicans take over.

About half of Democrats express satisfaction with their personal financial situation, compared with 61 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Independents.

Ultra-Wealthy

While Democrats lose support as income increases, there seems to be a tipping point where the ultra-wealthy begin leaning Democratic. The most famous example would be the entertainment industry, where star-studded events have become a significant part of Democratic culture.

But this phenomenon is not limited to Hollywood. A review of the 20 richest Americans, as listed by Forbes Magazine, found that 60 percent affiliate with the Democratic Party, including the top three individuals: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison. Among the riches families, the Democratic advantage rises even higher, to 75 percent.

quote:

---

Education There are two distinct levels of education among Democrats: those without a high school diploma and those with post-graduate degrees. Republicans gain a majority of support from high school graduates, individuals with some college experience, and college graduates. Recent trends have seen an erosion of support in the Republican advantage among college graduates, but they still receive a slim majority of the vote in this category.

---

it's not just poor people who are Democrats, as you can see. You continue to spew bullshite though, it's now become humorous.

Aw, leaving so soon? You had no issue typing your little racist fingers off at 3 AM this morning.

---

I had to leave to get on a conference call. I was on here at 4am EST because that's when I get up for work you lazy motherfricker. You didn't seem to have a problem still lying in bed while I was up and at em. So kudos to you for even further proving my point about you lazy enabling douchebags.

quote:

---

And the alternative is voting for a Republican that calls them lazy deadbeats and wants to take away their healthcare and paltry food stamp allowance? That makes sense?

---

That they could get off their arse, work extra hours, and end the cycle? Instead of relying on handouts? Yes, it does.

quote:

---

Ah yes, because it was MY fault, a small child, that my mother was an addict. What a reasonable line of thinking. All children of addicts should work summer jobs to put food on their own plates.

I can't say I'm surprised, as you've proven time and time again that you're not only a bigot, but also incapable of even considering the fact that you may not know what you're talking about.

---

Well let's see. My viewpoint comes from the fact that my dad joined the military in order to further himself and my mom worked three jobs while going to UK and raising two kids.

Your life experience involves a broken family who used government assistance because your mother was a drug addict instead of being a responsible parent.

No, that's not your fault but to act like your perspective is the one that has it all figured out is beyond laughable.

quote:

---

frick, it sounds like you chose a bad industry. Not only are you middle class, but you also have a shitty work schedule.

---

Not everyone sleeps the same. I don't mind being home by 2 or 3 most afternoons at all, while you chumps are still working. Shitty is all about perspective. I think working at 9 am and getting home after traffic by 6 or so and having 3 hours to yourself is shitty.

As for the latter I was calling you lazy for still being in bed.

what does any of this have to do with this

quote:

---

The fact that your mom was an addict, which is why your family needed others to chip in on your bills and such, only further proves my point about these enablement programs

---

also, we weren't on welfare. No one assisted in paying our bills. We had a short stint when I was a child where we utilized food stamps.

But now you're just rambling out of anger, and not making any sense. I understand your family worked hard and that's great. I currently am working hard, for my family. That has nothing to do with the fact that you said I further proved your point that enbalement (not a thing nor a word, even) because my father had to utilize food stamps. What does that even mean?

Do you really think that because my mother made bad decisions, my brother, my sister and I should have had to go without food? That's what you said. If not, I'd appreciate some clarification.

damn, you're frickin lazy. Who gets home at 2:00? See how this can go either way?

You're not the brightest crayon in the box.

Yea, the vast majority of the working world is lazy, and you're so hard working with your 4-1 schedule.

And works on the yard, hits the gym, and remodels his house? Me. No I guess I'm just not that bright.

I wasn't calling the working world lazy. Just you.

I 100% agree with it being a trap. Or are you unaware of how to comprehend English?

---

you do realize that isn't what we were discussing. I said that you vehemently disagreed with the notion that taxes going towards a warm meal for a child. Try to keep up.

I'll quote for you, since you clearly have trouble following along.

I said this:

quote:

---

Many still do not pay enough to pull someone out of poverty. Again, if my tax dollars can allow a child to have a warm meal, I'm fine with that.

---

Roger said this:

quote:

---

Not many people will disagree with that. However, current welfare is a poverty trap for many people. It's a busted system and it empowers politicians, not people.

---

then I said this:

quote:

---

The poster I am responding to vehemently disagrees with it. He is certainly not the exception, at least in my experience.

---

then YOU said this:

quote:

---

No I dont. I 100% agree with that.

---

then I responded with this:

quote:

---

you 100% agree with you tax dollars helping a child get a warm meal? You have continuously said otherwise. Which is it? Or are you unaware of what you're saying you agree with?

---

and then you so eloquently responded with this:

quote:

---

I 100% agree with it being a trap. Or are you unaware of how to comprehend English?

---

because you are a dumbass.

Things we now know about UKWildcats:

- lives in a pill ridden town
- has a mediocre middle class lifestyle
- owns 3 depreciating assets and believes that since they are paid off, that means something
- has a shitty work schedule that requires hi to be up 3 hours before the rest of the working world
- lacks reading comprehension
- lacks any real world knowledge for those in poverty
- thinks the answer to poor people's problem is to join the military
- is racist

there's probably more

none of this has anything to do with intelligence. Congrats on being able to work with your hands. The rest of us with real jobs work on the yard and our homes on the weekends.

Elaborate please? I quite literally have a standard work schedule. So this doesn't make much sense.
