Well, in general Republicans do work but are taxed/fined/fee'd to death by the IRS and other libtard organizations controlled by  Democraps.   ;D

Note how I said, "in general".  People are people and to be honest there are good and bad examples of both sides of the political coin.  Its just that there libtards control the societal zeitgeist via the emotions of envy and hatred.   As a friend once said, most people only desire equality with those they think have "more" .

You believe in your own destiny and the values of individual liberty and freedom. It isn't that hard. That said, it's a lot less work to just fold into the womb of the state and surrender everything that the Founders held so dear. Lazy, but easy.

You choose: the iron crucible of life or the feather bed of eternal fatness.

Not well. Republicans expect people to be honest, hard working, and responsible for their own actions and well being. The poor want something for nothing. So the democrats use taxpayers money, to buy votes from the poor.

The South is FILLED with white trash republicans living in trailer homes, who are on welfare.

I always found that quite ironic. Why would Southerners who are dirt broke poor, living in a trailer home, vote republican?

Democrats (Slave Owners) rose from the south so you are probably wrong on that front and like most poor people, they usually don't vote.

I posted a map of where most welfare recipients in the south are located.  There was a noticeable clustering in urban areas.  I also posted a state by state breakdown of welfare statistics.  It's an interesting subject.

There is a famous book written on this very subject...

What is the matter with Kansas. I think thats the title. Its pretty interesting. Basically repubs did a great job of marketing in those areas using religious mantra to con these poor people for votes. Its the christian/american shit that those poor southerns on welfare love, and they eat it up so much that they will vote against there own self interest every fuckin time. Just like how dems con inner city populations to vote for them. Its all a con and marketing. Politics is a business. Thats why its laughable when hyper political people on here think they have all the answers and side with their favorite team.

My Dad and Grandpas voted Democrat. They were basically voting for Kennedy's party, which was gone after Kennedy died and Johnson took over.

They were socially conservative blue dog types. Blue collar, hourly union workers. Neither of my Grandpas graduated HS. They were all hardworking and made a decent living.

I was more ambitious, and realized early on over a quarter century ago that it wasn't my Dad and Granddad's Democratic party. I was always far less socially conservative than they were, but I realized early on that they were economically ignorant and not big picture types like I am.

You're extremely ignorant to assume that anyone who votes Republican is a poor religious person on welfare, and that the only religious people are Republicans. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I have a feeling that those republicans in the south who are poor are not saying, "Boy, I am going to vote repblican because I want a job to get me out of the trailer." ::) ::) From the republican POV, most of them should have been able to work there way out of the trailer park by now. Why wait for a republican president? Pick yourself up by those American bootstraps.

And the above poster is RIGHT!! Many republican candidates specifically push the religious agenda because it will get votes from the south. It does not mean that all poor people are religious, but Id suspect there are enough broke, southern, religious people who are voting for someone based on their religious beliefs. Good luck trying to get anyone from the South to vote for an outright Muslim or Atheist president.  ::) ::)

On average, the south is much more religious than the rest of the country.

You're ignorant. I know lots of people who are out of work who want to get off the dole and get back to making money and doing well.

I know many others who just want to keep on cruising on tax dollars. You can guess who they vote for.

Of course there are people who want to get back to work. You're ignorant because you actually think that I mean EVERY single poor person in the South. When most people say stuff like that, they are talking about a great deal, not EVERY single person, you dimwit.

No shit, there are people trying to not be poor, but thats not why they vote republican. I am sure they vote republican for many other reasons, religious beliefs being a big pull for many people.

Good luck trying to get a southerner to vote for an outright muslim or atheist candidate.  ::) ::)

I don't doubt that in the least, my friend.  People are people and there are examples of good and bad on both sides of the political coin.  RINO stands for Republican In Name Only but is pretty much reserved for libtards claiming to be conservative Republicans. 

The Maternal Side of our family can barely stand me as they are quite liberal and I am not.  They still love me, but just cant abide being in the same room with  me, LOL! And of course, I love them as well.  ;D

Some of the poorest people I know are Republicans. Some of these people aren't taxed to death (or at all) because they are on the dole and yet they complain about taxation. I also know some well-off Republicans, they complain bitterly about taxation.

I am sure I also know some poor folks who are Democrats. Like the Republicans, they complain about taxes. I'm a Democrat. I do okay financially. I hate paying taxes.

The IRS was instituted in 1862 to pay for the Civil War. President Lincoln was the President at that time. He was a Republican.

I am not getting what you are saying here. Democrat (slave owners) weren't poor. Hence, they probably voted, according to your logic. Slaves couldn't vote. They probably were neither Democrat or Republican.

I am not sure what the demographics are on who does and who does not vote in the South. I do know some Republicans who don't vote and others who do. Interestingly, the ones I know who don't vote are poor.

Slavery is no longer legal.

Welfare is a form of slavery/indentured servitude for a vote. It cares not the color of one's skin but instead focuses on blue over red.  Slavery was a primary foundation of the Democratic Party.  That same party founded the so-called "Great Society" in the 60s.  Party on Democrats.

Loathsome.

3. Prior to the Republicans sweeping into Congress the Democratic wealth of the individual Congressmen was much greater than the Republican ones.

4. The Koch brothers are dwarfed by the amount of money the Democratic causes get from Soros.

5. The overwhelming majority owners, CEO's and presidents of news providers in print, network tv and cable are liberal Democrats who run their news as a public relations firm for the left.

6. Hillary Clinton election is being funded in a big part from Arab nations who have donated to Hillary's foundation that has no accounting for how the money is spent.

I'm from the south and not religious. As I've stated here before, I don't care if a candidate is married to a dog, has sex with a goat, and worships a unicorn. I want a smaller government overall, adherence to the Constitution, personal freedom and liberty, lower taxes and regs for my business, and fiscal responsibility.

And a federal government that does little if anything more than protect the country from fraud and foreign enemies, while allowing states to largely govern themselves, and for local law enforcement to do its own job. Let me keep half my money. I'll always vote against the guy who wants to take more of my money.

I had very little when I graduated college a couple of decades ago. But I knew I'd get to where I wanted to be eventually. Those principles and ideals meant as much to me then as they do now, even though the lines have admittedly blurred, and I'm mainly voting for a lesser of 2 evils.

But I never let big govt or big unions take care of me and define me or how high I could go in life. It would have been stupid for someone like me to have voted for a socialist even 21 years ago when I got my first "real" job and had little more than big dreams.

How does this work?

I don't know specifically how one would do these things, but I do know what it's like to go from being considered poor / lower middle class in my early 20's to becoming quite the opposite after many years of hard work and a little good luck here and there.

It helps to have a business-friendly environment, lower taxes and regs, etc. But one can still become successful even in more hostile environments like we've seen the last half dozen years.
