welfare votes

Obama administration guts work requirements for Clinton-era welfare reform

For Obama Democrats, creating more Government dependents is what it's all about.  Ideally, every last person would be a Government dependent in one way or another, or better yet in multiple ways via multiple entitlements. 

The Perfect Democrat Voter is a person (1) on food stamps, (2) in subsidized housing, (3) enjoying paid-for medical care, and who (4) who pays no income tax and/or receives checks from the IRS under the EITC (negative income tax).

To that end:

(1)  A new campaign has been launched, including TV ads in Spanish, to get more people signed up for food stamps;
(2)  Dodd-Frank was the Democrats' attempt at subsidized home ownership. It wrecked the economy, but they'll try again;
(3)  ObamaCare;
(4)  Nearly half of tax filers pay no Federal income tax and/or get an IRS check, so have no skin in the game.

All of it financed by massive inter-generational deficits as far as the eye can see, and beyond.
