re: #95 A Mom Anon

Well, we’ll see. I’m kind of losing hope on that one.

This sort of crap is seeping into the consciousness of otherwise decent human. I just had a disagreement with one of my best friends about this very topic the other day, and her politics are on the liberal side of things.

There is a lot of this lodged deep in our consciousness, the whole Protestant Work Ethic thing trumping any sort of compassion for the less fortunate.

But I think it is something that ebbs and flows. People love anecdotal evidence about Food Stamp scammers and gladly ignore well-researched studies that indicate otherwise.

But Americans are edging away from paul Ryan and his approach of cutting social spending to the bone to pay (back) all the tax cuts we have given to “job creators”, especially when so many of those Heoes of Capitalist Enterprise create jobs that still pay below the povery level.
