This is a reputable site that presents accurate information. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not true.

Lot of poor people do not get anything back in government handouts. Definitely nothing back on the scale that oil companies, etc. get back.

In any case, don't run those folks down. Poor red states are the Republican base.

You're assuming that 'the American people' agree with you. Obviously a significant number do not agree with you....and not all who disagree with you are Republicans.

People also have different definitions of the composition of 'the American people'.
