   Not at all.  This is why I make the point that Democrats have been able   
   to dilute those in need by including those who are worthless.

   Spending over ten years in the medical equipment business, I've seen   
   much more than you.  Our largest group of customers were Medicaid   
   patients.  I've been in every project building in Cleveland, Ohio.  I've   
   been in homes that should have otherwise been condemned.  I've seen   
   people live like animals.  There is no "better light" than what I've   
   seen.   
      
   Now that HUD targeted my suburb for destruction, I'm seeing more of that   
   at home.  We went from 0 murders per year to (on the average) of three.   
   I've watched otherwise successful businesses close down.  I've watched   
   our schools become places of fear instead of learning.  I understand   
   that people here now live in fear.  Why?  Because liberals have this   
   fallacy that the good changes the bad, and not the other way around.

   Not at all.  But that's the working class that have to make that   
   decision, not people on government assistance where the working pay for   
   it.

   Correct, not as long as the so called poor live better lives than the   
   working.  That's why I'm for change.  And I would bet a years paycheck   
   that you live far from the environment you describe.  You may visit   
   it... work with it, but you don't live it.  When you live it, then you   
   can preach to others who also do the same.   
      
   If you take 1/4 cup of rotten, stale milk, and mix that with 3/4 cup of   
   fresh wholesome milk.  You only have one thing, and that is a cup of bad   
   milk.
