". The Unions here SCREWED over my father when I was young. He paid into a retirement plan that was nixed when USX bought US Steel. It creates a lasting impression. We suffered for quite a while and that's the biggest reason."
Funny. My Pop was Union ("Communication Workers of America") from the late 50's through the late 70's and then moved into management for AT&T. When he started to develop heart problems he was forced into longer and longer hospital stays and then the company dropped him and screwed him out of his retirement. My dad had to sue them from his hospital bed to get it back. I fucking hate corporations. I don't trust them for shit. Oddly enough all his friend who stayed in the Union retired well.
My Father was a Korean War veteran. Sorry about your pops, but at least their was a huge decades-long public discussion about the war your dad was in.
Welfare didn't destroy your neighborhood, poverty did. Welfare is a questionable attempt to ease it. Why people that hate welfare have a blindspot to the inequalities of the market amazes me.
You're blind to the fact that the US economic system has been socialist for a looong time now - both in social spending and government spending to the defense industry. And not a single Republican administration in the last forty years has done anything about it except make it grow bigger. Wake up.
