Don't you want the poor struggling people get the welfare benefits they need to survive?

While you drive your Mercedes Benz and watch your 401k reach the million mark, people are on the streets struggling every day and you can help them out but to administrate each person helping out needs to be done on a large economy of scale

So best way I can think of is we pay a little bit more every April 15th (once a year is not a lot to ask) so every struggling day benefits can be redistributed to starving jobless folks who have kids to support and need to eat and sleep.

Liberals are ok with this but Conservative Republicans aren't. Why not ?

There's people in poverty in America working part-time bar-tending, living out of tractor trailers, washing windows, trying to live the American dream.

They tried and they just need a helping hand. Their kids need food on the table...child care so they can work to pay the bills.

Often they have to beg and they can't get credit cards and they are stressed out so the little they got they need a few smokes

How about if I'm not a Conservative Republican, but I want a MB and a million in my 401K. What do I have to do? Kick a few homeless people? Kill a Polar Bear?

Why didn't you ask the question about Mercedes drivers or millionaires? Neither one makes you a republican and being a republican doesn't make you either one.

Nice try but not too bright and certainly not clever. You ask a clear, unambiguous question, go immediately into a question framed by your opinion then follow it with several qualifiers to lead people toward the questions you really want to ask which have nothing to do with party affiliation or political bent. You then follow those with personal opinions regarding both of those combined.

Again, nice try but decidedly no cigar!

Republicans are more likely the rural wealthy majority

Democrats are more likely the lower middle class blue collar urban

WTF do you mean once a year is not a lot to ask? Money is being taken from us each hour/day/week we work.

I am a fiscal conservative because your problems are not my problems and your choices should not negatively affect me.

Yes simply put.. As much as many won't want to hear this.. In general far right Republicans are more selfish than moderates and Democrats.
