They definitely exist, especially in Miami, where I lived for several years. Many of the older Cuban-Americand who receive welfare (SSI, Medicare, Section 8) are staunch conservatives, mainly borne out of their anti-Castro sentiments.

Anybody using any form of social safety net would be a part of welfare program. Do conservatives belong to an America from a different planet?
How many years have you been paying payroll taxes into Social Security and Medicare? I have been paying into SS for 67 years and Medicare for its whole life. That is what you are talking about, isn't it?
fail
8 of those 'red' states have been democrats strongholds for the last 100 years at the state level
even west virginia..BOTH senators are dems
some of the biggest welfare states....new york and california and mississippi...all very much liberal states....and missi also has the highest black population in the country
new york SPENDS more per capita on WELFARE than almost anyother state, 'blue' states like NY have more wefare reciepiants than 10 of those 'red' states combined..they are number 8
top 7 USA entities per capita of welfare
1. DISTRICT OF COLOMBIA (wash DC)
2. GUAM
3. Rhode Island
4. Tenn
5. california
6. Maine
7. alaska
8. new york
the 'red' states also have the biggest share of military posts in the county
highest dropout rates....nevada and illinois...very blue
texas also PRODUCES 40% of the ENERGY that California USES...yet
cali is the second biggest carbon emiter.....behind...texas
btw I am a new yorker (a northerner)
the problem is the democrats and their love for welfare and other social programs...the more they push these programs the more the wealthier states will pay for the poorer states. the more they push the "tax the rich" mantra, the more the rich will be paying for the poor.......NJ has more people that are considered wealthy, than it has people below the poverty line...a state like SC has more workingclass and poor than it has wealthy.....its simple math....and there is a simple solution,,, vote out the tax and spend liberals
The only welfare receipents I have ever met were coservatives. I am white, but I grew up in a very poor area, where there were lots of other poor whites. Many of them were on welfare. When I first started talking politics with them, I was shocked to learn that .. yep, they're voting Republican. They hate "blacks on welfare" who are only "gaming the system" much more than other non welfare conservatives do. They clearly see how they are hard working folks down on their luck who deserve a little assitance -- but those shiftless liberal welfare types ... aka minorities... why they're something else entirely! Just the other day at the welfare office (where they were to get their benefits) they saw this unwed Mexican woman with five kids do something outrageous!
What would that outrageous act be? She gave birth?

Roy, you're on welfare, entitlements.
Just because you've paid into something doesn't make you immune from something you speak against. It is only an act of downplaying the fact.

Roy, you mean you paid for the retirement and medical benefits for your parents? How generous of you. The younger ones amongst us, particularly the conservative ones, aren't in such a generous mood.
