did you ever stop to think that maybe they aren't voting against themselves and the poor, but for the constitutional demand that no individual or group be singled out for extraordinary restrictions or punishments? not everyone is a self-centered prick, intent on screwing anyone else for their own benefit. there are plenty of folks who just know it's wrong to steal, a lesson that the proponents of forced wealth redistribution and usurious tax rates on the wealthy seem to have missed. instead of denigrating them for their attempts to keep this country from sliding into a miasma of entitlements at the expense of the productive, we should be applauding their insistence on the supremacy of the individual's rights and defense against the minions of over-sized intrusive government. we should congratulate them for their willingness to labor for their existence instead of accepting the meager handouts of the political elite, but that would mean admitting the low intentions of the liberal establishment and those who advance the tenets of mob rule.
