I have listened to why people are voting the way they are and I fell like it all boils down to who is giving away the most of our tax dollars as a freebie. I then look at the states run by liberals, be they Democrats or Republicans, and I wonder if anyone stops and takes a look at their own state.

 How have taxing the businesses worked for your state. How many jobs has it created? How is the section 8 complexes in you state working? Do you want to live by one? How is the welfare working in your state and the food stamps? How has not taking responsibility for your lifes been working? Has the government really helped by providing all the help you need not to work and then have plenty of free time to do what with?

This is not a "come and get it" country, it is suppose to be a country of people who work for what they get so they know how to value it. Our welfare is suppose to help get a person on their feet not support the person, we have Pell Grants to get the lower incomes a college education and we have government daycare so parents can work. We have a system to pay utilities so you do not have to freeze in the winter, what more do the Americans want?

We have gone to the level of paying for every need a person can have without them ever lifting a finger and we still have homeless. We have homeless for several reasons, some are just too hooked on booze and drugs to get their acts togather and some just lost their jobs and everything they own but the system is so clogged with users that the ones whom it was set up for can get no help.

So what we need is the government destroying more of our system by interfering in health care. So far they have not been able to FIX one thing they have put their hands on. Look at the economy now and ask yourself, do you really want any more of their help? They have helped us into the worse economy sense the "Great Depession" and from the looks of it we are only going to fall lower only this time we are taking alot of other countries with us. So give it some thought. Think with your brain and not with the media or what the promises that are being made.

 Look at all the help and what it got us so far and then ask do I really want more of their help?

 Nite all and God Bless

Excellent gimini. One point you brought up....welfare. When you look around and see generations on welfare it does make you wonder. But Uncle Sam doesn`t stop with his own children and freebies. Now we have millions of illegal immigrants with their hands in the pie too. I still don`t get how generations of them qualify for costly public benefits rather than jail and deportation. If we break the law we don`t get a monthly check, discounts on college and medical insurance.

Yes we do and if you stop and look at who is passing all these freebies and how well they worked out maybe you will rethink on any more government help. Thank you.

oh we break the law and get a monthly check, college discounts and medical insurance? Is that why the dept of corrections charges prisoners for their keep? Oh yeah, especially in county jails....you get a bill when you leave. LOL Not exactly free there. lol

We are becoming a nation of freebies. Free rent, free food, free utilities, free health care, free education and even a free pay check. Why work when you can get it all just sitting on your behind?

That`s the point I was agreeing with concerning illegals and their criminal status.

I am a reformed democrat now republican and mother of 5, have 10 grandchildren and one greatgrand child. I have lived all over the US and love to sit on docks and fish. Waiting for the big one. I love my family and a good joke, reading and painting. My siblings all think I need to be taken care of as do my children and I'm the oldest so don't know why. I watch Fox 4 News because you are about the fairest all around on T.V.
