Many of the poor and deprived are simply living with the results of their own choices.

If they choose to drop out of school, and choose to use drugs, and choose to become parents without marriage, they are likely to be poor and dependent on welfare - and many of the women have several children with assorted fathers, no marketable skills, and no prospects for imjprovement.

In spite of their situation, these people have a vote, and they have discovered that they can vote for a living.

They can vote for whomever promises the most welfare, the most weeks of unemployment funds, and the most benefits.

Most often, this vote goes for the democrats.

It's sickening.
