Being poor is a transitional phase, it doesn't define who you are, and does not determine who you will be your entire life.
??? Transitional to what? For millions of Americans, including many who work low-wage jobs, poverty is persistent and transitions only to destitution eventually.
You don't understand what A Conservative is, do you? That is exactly the difference between liberals and conservatives......Liberals vote according to their greedy self interests, hence: wheres my health care, wheres my jobs, wheres my unemployment food stamps,welfare,transportation,education,free lunch...............Liberals are all about bringing home the bacon, Conservatives want to starve the sow.
??? Michigan has a "nonhomestead" property tax for schools, not levied on owner-occupied primary residences; the school property tax rate on nonhomestead property is four times the rate on homesteads. This tax is locally voted and passes by huge margins (like 3-1 and 4-1) in the most conservative areas. Conservative homeowners are just as happy to vote for free money as are liberal homeowners.
Because conservatives would generally want to work for what they earn and when they succeed they don't want to see 50%+ going to people who will not do for themselves.
There was a proposal to implement a non-profit system of PRIVATE COMPANIES WHO THE GOVERNMENT HELPS START UP. NOTHING MORE. Sh*t you people who spew the same garbage as your idiot conservative radio talk show hosts must not have brains. Go read a book.,
Sure. And while we're reading, why don't you go read the constitution. Specifically, this part: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Maybe when you can understand that, you might be able to talk about other people having no brains. Until then, though, you might want to consider the old adage about people living in glass houses not throwing stones.
It's not just "they're stupid", many disenfranchised people of all stripes simply do not trust the government to do anything right, and thus any attempt at health care reform will be shot down.
I personally find it hilarious that people who would benefit from this greatly are by and large against a bill which would provide health care insurance. Oh well. I don't care anymore. Be poorer and in worse health. You dug your own grave. And the more well-off social conservatives dug it too.
maybe those poor conservatives like being free more than having a nanny from cradle to grave.

Meanwhile....
Most people who are conservative don't end up succeeding. Whoops...

The higher the annual income, the greater the percentage of voters pull the Republican lever in Presidential elections.
"Financially, Republicans fare better than either Democrats or Independents, and tend to identify themselves as such. Republican candidates gain a significantly higher percentage of votes from individuals with incomes over $50,000 per year, and the advantage increases along with the income level, to a height of 63 percent of individuals earning $200,000 or more a year supporting Republicans. This level is the direct inverse of individuals earning less than $15,000 a year, who support Democrats at 63 percent and Republicans at only 36 percent." Debt.org "Economic Demographics of Republicans"
Mainstream Republicans are closer to Democrats than the conservative abomination that is the Tea Party.
Define "conservative".
