And there is a limit for each person, ie: three cans of food at a time for each person.
Most conservatives I know were born with silver spoons in their mouths. If you've never had to work with immigrants or urban poor, you would never know how hard these people work. Admittidly I'm generalizing about conservatives here, but I know way too people they have every privilege in life that complain about "lazy minorities."

Liberal CD posters can never seem to make up their minds if conservatives are living in trailer homes or mansions.

I consider myself more conservative, but that silver spoon was nowhere near in my mouth, more like several states away. There are basic economic principals that define a conservative and you clearly don't understand those.

Every time I hear this type of comment it smacks of rationalized envy. The GOP has never cared about poor people and is happy to kick them to the curb at every opportunity. It's no wonder that they tend to support Democrats.

I absolutely understand them, and I disagree with them - that's why I am a liberal. I strongly dislike the racialized version of right wing politics that's prevalent in the South and Midwest especially.

Cool, I guess we 100% agree with things then since I live in the North East.

Everyone knows Republicans have no fondness for the poor.

Judging by your posts supporting tariffs, you clearly don't understand economics.
