The basis for the Democrat party in this country is "vote for me and I will force somebody else to pay your bills". Despicable, isn't it?.
As opposed to Republicans whose basis is 'Work hard your whole life and we will make sure rich people/corporations fuck you over"?
Here's the thing 40% of the population controls less than 1% of the wealth. so, yeah, "someone else will pay your bills" is a compelling argument.
the thing is, most of what the government spends is "White People Welfare" - Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance. Things Republicans keep chipping away at the edges of, but never call for getting rid of because those white people would FUCKING CRUCIFY THEM AT THE POLLS.
So even though what you call "welfare" (also mostly collected by white people) is an easy target because you guys paint stereotypes that are easy to despise, the fact is, it's very little of what the government spends.
