If you are broke, cannot afford college or training, living in a city or near one with an extremely high cost of living and the only available jobs barely pay or do not pay enough to keep you from ending up homeless how hell do you think people are going to vote?
And why are you probably broke, root-cause? GOVERNMENT
Why can you not afford college or training? GOVERNMENT
Why is cost of living high? GOVERNMENT
It amazes me how willfully ignorant libertarians and Conservatives can be to the plight of the poor that they have no little to no control over their situation that they would go as far as to disparage the poor.
Oh bullshit. Nobody is disparaging the poor. We take issue with the dogpile attitudes of these people who have no guts or grit and want everything handed to them on a platter. Have you not been paying attention to these foul-mouthed, dull-witted, proudly ignorant fops who demand they be provided with beer and blowjobs? Christ on a crutch man... take a look around you and see the raving madness. Students who demand "safe space" and all their talk of "triggers" and "micro-aggression". They are trying to get as much for nothing as they can possibly manage, and it appears that at least thus far they are making a good go of it. I see it every single day without fail. It is in the media, the places I frequent (Charleston WV is a den of liberal iniquity), and so on.
To assert that we are disparaging the poor indicates you are either not paying attention or are playing games. I don't know which. I would never disparage anyone for being poor. I was not exactly rolling in the dough, growing up. But I worked and made something of myself, meager as it may be, and despite my currently tough circumstance, I blame nobody (save maybe governmental interference) for my situation. I ask no aid from others, much less demand it. I will either swim or I will die ignominiously under a bridge one day. But I will never try to pick YOUR pocket of your presumably hard-earned property. If that renders me "willfully ignorant", then fine, I will wear the banner with pride.
This forum reflects much of Rand's campaign, completely ignorant to the plight of the working poor. Reading here you would think it was the 1600s and people can just lay claim to land to farm for themselves and are just "lazy assholes" for not doing so.
You presume not only too much, but the wrong things. Read what is written and not what you want to see.
That all aside, if you are broke and so on, what exactly are the rest of us to do about it? What is your remedy? I know mine. I'd like to hear what you have to say on the matter. How is this to be corrected and what is your vision of a "proper" societal arrangement?
Demographics is very often destiny.
