(966 posts)A friend of the family, who I really enjoy and who is a nice woman, used to rail against Obama, and even for a time considered voting for Romney, yet receives Food Stamps, Social Security Disability, Medicaid, and lives in subsidized housing, but she berates others on "welfare". In the end, she stayed home on election day.

Try to tell them it's not true and they will get ANGRY with you.
The really funny thing is if we gave these poor white people the option of not working they would take it in an instant.
Oh,...and a thing to ponder.
The 13th Amendment:
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
People have been debating the notion of "involuntary servitude" including the classic 9 to 5 since before FDR. By rights, as a citizen you should have the right to basic needs even if you aren't working for someone else.

(662 posts)It is amazing to me that so many of AM ppl are manipulated into voting against themselves. Jefferson said that public education was the key to maintaining DEMOCRACY. But, you look at these types of stories and have to wonder.
