I'm poor, by every definition of the word, as far as statistics go, and I don't care about the poor. As a matter of fact, I despise obese people on electric carts using food stamps to buy junk food. Now, if you go to your fridge, open it up and think, Hmmm....Peanut butter or cheese. or look at the cabinet and think Dried beans and weevil infested rice, then I might care.....and I vote Republican, but I'm a Libertarian by all counts.
Just a point, I noticed that you classified yourself as such, yet you readily embrace the actions of an all encompassing government.
Do you really think that there are not going to be eventual consequences for those who have so readily given their souls to big government, to be their all in all?
