[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 2906936, member: 66082"] Now the contention about government dependency of the poor is complete nonsense talking point that has no basis in reality and is again something that conservatives claim to care about, but that doesn't matter at all to them. Now lets look at this dependency angle. The largest group of people dependent on the government for money, healthcare are elderly people, by far and its not even close by the way. The richest Americans are the most dependent on the government financially, that's why the spend the most on the government, are constantly begging the government for help and vote at the highest rates. Usually when presented with the dependency of the elderly on the government, the people who claim to be so concerned about government dependency don't care about that. Usually when presented with the dependency of the disabled on the government, the people who claim to be so concerned about government dependency don't care about that. Nah, usually the people discussing government dependency derisively are more than willing to overlook a huge amount of government dependency as ok, what they care about are certain groups of Americans that they perceive to be dependent and for whom they don't think deserve it. So again as I pointed out the issue for conservatives the thing they claim to care about which is government dependency(they are fine with millions and millions of Americans being dependent on the government) doesn't matter to them at all. What they care about is who they perceive to be dependent on government. [/QUOTE]
