Tell that to my Dem voting grandfather who worked in the coal mines since the age of 9. Before I got a "white collar" position I worked in factories, machine shops during my youth. I am not an Obama lover or Pelosi, Kennedy, Boxer, but that is a bad analogy. Most of the animals/people who are "takers" and not "doers" usually aren't registered voters anyway.
It used to be that the democratic party was for the working man. Sadly though the party has become the party of the non-working man. The dems are all about the redistribution of wealth. Biden came out the other day and said people making over 250K should be patriotic and WANT to pay more taxes. People who make that much are already paying the lions share of the taxes but they should give more and more. The dems are all about class warfare too. Pit the non earners against the earners. They make out anyone who does ok by working hard as being evil and they must be taxed to death. By the way Obama's plan to tax more out of anyone who makes 250K or more really just hurts everyone. Of the countless millions and millions of people across this country who work for small businesses who is it going to hurt if the owner has to pay more taxes? You think he is going to keep that tax hit to himself? Or is it more possible that he will suppress the wages? Or maybe invest less in his business preventing more hiring? No, the dems are all about socialism now. They pander to the lower income people telling them they will take from the evil rich and give it to them by way of free health care (which would lower the quality of health care for everyone) to bailing them out of their bad mortgages. The dems are all about being a mommy and daddy government. Don't worry about bettering yourself, we the government will take care of all of your needs and we will have the evil rich pay for it.
