    People forget that you don't actually have to have the federal government take your money by force in order for you to help the poor

    I don't do my giving on the street corner to get rewarded by man. I give in secret so my Father in heaven can reward me

    It's always smart to cover your bases. Just in case ....
    When I was broke, tens of thousands of dollars in debt and facing eviction everything broke my way. I got myself into the mess and Dad got me out
    You sounded really really pour!
    It's boom, then bust, then boom, for them construction bidness types.

    One if the critiques that the left makes when the right wants to slash federal, state and local guvmint payrolls, is that such moves are inherently raysiss since the public sector employees a disproportionate number of minorities.

    Social Security disability benefits (SSI, specifically) are another big means-tested benefits program.

    A lot of white men and women in rural areas are on disability. In fact, a greater percentage of people in rural areas than urban areas---almost twice as many, 9.1% of the population compared with 4.9%---are on disability. The problem is worse in the Trump country--the American South and Appalachia. (Here and here and here are some links.)

    My political theory? They feel like they're losers and hate themselves for it. So they project their negative self-image on immigrants, black people, and @creepycoug's people. They bash cities as being hives of welfare queens and drug addicts who hate to work. They love how Donald Trump makes them feel like winners.

    We moved folks from unemployment to disability to make the numbers look good.

    Your political theory is well a theory

    Yep. Disability was a one of the ways to get around the work requirements of some welfare programs.

    I'm not disputing disability numbers even though I don't click links. I'll take your word on it

    Its your theory about Trump voters that is well, a theory and hardly a new one and one I hope the democrats stick to

    Calling people you need to vote for you dumb racists worked so well for Hillary.

    The people you shit on were the backbone of the democrat party once upon a time
    Back when it was the DemoKKKratic party
