Do you really want to know??

How do the different people see or seem to justify their political positions?

When liberals look at the poor, first and foremost, they see people who will vote for them in exchange for goodies. This gives liberals a perverse incentive to keep as many Americans mired in poverty as humanly possible.

This is why liberals are always willing to make a government handout a little bigger, easier to qualify for, or to make sure as many people as possible are using it. They want poor people to remain poor – and no wonder. Show me a ghetto in America and I will show you an area that votes heavily Democrat despite the fact that its condition never seems to improve.

** The Big Problem with this system is that there is not really any practical - honest way to get this to work...   The mainly socialist Liberal Demo party has driven the country into a slide down into a vast valley of Natl. Debt which is selling the country out to places like China..  The US Dollar is being replaced by other real money...
 The US money is a farce in the economic market place today! 

Incidentally, that’s just how liberals like it. If you’re poor today, they’d like you to remain poor next year, the next ten years or even for the rest of your life. Then, not only do liberals get your vote, they get to feel better about themselves because they’re “helping” a “pitiful, helpless failure” like you. It’s the best of all worlds for liberals: they get to feel “generous,” it helps keep them in power, and other people pick up the bill.

Of course, it’s certainly not the best of all worlds for the poor.

Having been poor, I can tell you that it’s no picnic. Nobody likes living in a dangerous neighborhood, struggling to pay the rent or not knowing where the money will come from if his car breaks down. This is where liberals try get the fishhook in your jaw. They offer “free” money, “free food,” “free” housing, free cell fon.  When you’re struggling, that looks pretty good.

But, what many poor people eventually realize is that all the “free” things liberals want to give them are part of a trap.

Talk about the Confederate flag?  - Many do not realize that welfare is like being a slave on the Government Plantation!  Sure, government benefits make life a little easier, but they also help keep you poor long term. Just like the old slave plantations did...  Being on the dole undercuts your motivation to change your situation. It encourages you to treat receiving handouts from the government as a primary source of income. In fact, many people start to worry that if they do TOO WELL, they’ll lose their “free” benefits.
This is extremely sad since they do not realize the door to a better future and real opportunity is getting some form of personal income and then making a real life for themselves!  Use the underground RXR to prosperity and a better life in freedom!

On the other hand, conservatives don’t believe anyone is destined to remain poor.

We believe if you make good decisions, work hard and are willing to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, you can at least join the middle class. Unlike the Democrats, Republicans get most of their votes from the middle class; so unlike them, we’re incentivized to help poor Americans improve their situation financially. The same poor person who won’t vote Republican today may vote for the GOP tomorrow if he is off the dole, has a better job and is living in a better neighborhood.

So conservatives do believe in a social safety net, but we believe it should be temporary. We don’t want anyone to become dependent on the government or to take advantage of the system. In other words, we don’t want the safety net to become a hammock.

That’s why we want people to work for welfare, think drug addicts should be ineligible and believe there should be limits to how long someone can stay on a program.
We agree with Ronald Reagan who once said, “I believe the best social program is a job.”

Want to know why conservatives oppose high corporate taxes and want to keep taxes low in general?

Why we don’t like the minimum wage?

 Why we try to cut regulations as much as possible?

It’s mostly about jobs. If the economy is growing, thriving and creating lots of jobs, it helps everybody, including the poor. Increasing the minimum wage to $15 may help a few people live more comfortably in poverty, but it will also lead to the loss of starter jobs for millions of poor people who desperately need the experience so they can improve their situations.

The government will NEVER lift you out of poverty, but a good job can.
Besides I know and learned that it is far better to become gainfully employed - rather than waiting of the Govt hand out.
 (BTW: The Government does not love you) - plus what most people do not realize is that God does not bless government hand outs..
 God blesses you honest hard working efforts...

That’s where we believe we should be focusing our efforts. That’s why conservatives have long touted enterprise zones that allow businesses to have tax breaks in poor neighborhoods. The more businesses that move into low-income areas, the more poor Americans can get jobs. Amen!

Conservatives also believe in being tough on crime and protecting the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Nobody benefits more from that than the poor who are often trapped in crime-ridden neighborhoods that Democrats haven’t bothered to clean up, despite being in charge of Federal Government hand out  - welfare programs for decades.

Conservatives understand there’s not anything shameful about being poor, because we believe the best thing we can do to help poor Americans is to make it possible for them leave poverty behind for good.

  *** A liberal “success story” is someone who gets lots of government benefits while he lives in poverty for decades. Therefore keep getting plenty of votes for the Status Quo...

While a conservative “success story” is getting poor Americans to no longer need government benefits because they have gotten good jobs and moved into a middle class neighborhood - there by improving their lives....

That’s why liberalism is based on poor people who are content to remain poor while real conservatism wants poor people who want to make a better life for themselves.

  ***  The old saying:

 "Give a hungry person a fish they will come back hungry tomorrow;
but teach them how to fish for themselves and they will be prepared for life! "

When are we going to understand that by standing upon your own abilities and then seeking best opportunity is what it takes to improve your life! 

Pray and seek the Blessings of the Lord God in your life; by using your God given intelligence and abilities...
