You've just bought into a bunch of right wing storylines.
Welfare is a paltry amount of the budget. It's had time limits since Clinton was in office. Is their some abuse? Of course. And everyone supports measures to combat this. What area of anything we do in the US is not abused by bad apples?
And flat tax would raise taxes on the middle class. Why would you expect the middle class to accept this? A progressive tax stucture works all over the Western world. Only US right wing kooks buy into this scam.
No, I've thought for myself.
Whatever. You're blinded by your liberal ideology and dismiss everybody else as "kooks".
I think Conservatives hate America because we are the last best hope for freedom and and free markets. Conservatives on the other hand worship fascism and totalitarianism.

You resurrected a thread from 2009 in order to offer that biased opinion?
Thanks for redefining boredom induced necro-posting.
A lot of elderly white people don't have a ton of sense. They grew up in a world where Mad Men was reality, minorities were resigned to menial jobs, women were used as playthings and for raising kids, gays were in the closet and the white man was the undisputed king. It just bothers them that the "good old days" are gone. They vote Republican because demagogue politicians tell them they can bring the good old days back again, this fictional past America that was so great. Nostalgia makes people stupid, glosses over the bad stuff. People are wired to have nostalgia because when you're old and decripit, you'd probably shoot yourself if you couldn't entertain yourself with memories of the past but nostalgia can also be really harmful.
