See: 81% of people receiving public housing benefits vote Democratic – and that’s just the tip of the handout iceberg

”But as solid as the statistics Krugman provided might seem, we’re left with one glaring problem: States aren’t people. Could it be possible that liberals within conservative states are the ones taking the welfare dollars?

A survey by the Maxwell Poll on the political affiliation of those receiving government aid showed this to be the case.”

Keep in mind our federal government’s primary directive as stated in Article 1, Section 8 of our Constitution is, ”… to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States.” Following this directive there is a specific list of particulars for which Congress may lay and collect taxes, and the list does not include such things as food stamps, public housing, public schools, or other appropriations designed to meet the economic needs of individuals. As a matter of fact, under federalism, our Constitution’s plan, all such appropriations, if found necessary, are the responsibility of state governments. And this fact is confirmed in Federalist No. 45:

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.”

The unfortunate truth is, America’s most productive and hardworking citizens have been made into tax slaves by democrat voters who use their vote to elect politicians who in turn promise to use their office of public trust to keep the federal government’s free cheese wagon coming their way.

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon an Obama / Hillary Clinton Administration's, welfare, food stamp, section 8 housing, college loan check, and now free Obama/Hillarycare along with FREE BACON, we can blackmail them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ the Obama / Hillary Clinton Administration's Free Cheese Democracy, designed to establish a federal plantation which confiscates and then redistributes wealth that wage earners, business and investors have worked to create.
