I get the same vibe from a lot of posters here. Poor people aren't lazy unmotivated wanting to live off the dole as implied. Ironic, Ryan lived on 'gov support' from his dad himself. Plenty of rich kids live off their parents boozing drugging and not telling what else They have no direction. but I guess that's OK huh? Help is help. Pulling yourself up by the boot strpa isn't simple. Its' time to stop demonizing the poor.

Agreed, time to stop demonizing, I'm sure that so many rich kids do nothing but boozing and drugging and no telling what else. Hypocrisy, its a great example, thanks.

The GOP isn't keeping poor people poor. The Democrats keep poor people poor so they will continue to vote for them. The left is cruel to the poor. And Salon is a rag.

Agreed. And the poor should get their hands out of my pockets.

Sounds like an even trade to me.

Republicans love the welfare state as much as dems do, how did the o.p. come up with such a silly premise?

You're honestly asking WHY.

Because they believe "poor people should pull themselves by their own bootstraps." Don't forget there's equal opportunity for everyone, which is a joke.

And Nancy Reagan said just say no. (I know it's off topic) We know where that ended up after the crack epidemic and now the opoid epidemic sweeping the land today.

This divide will be the fall of the nation. It's already happening.

It's cute that Democrats pretend they care for anything other than just the poor's vote.
