5 GROUPS OF
OBAMA VOTERS THAT ARE BEING CRUSHED BY DEMOCRATS
Townhall –
John Hawkins – 3/30/2013
WHERE IS TRANSPARENCY THAT RESULTS IN FREEDOM AND LIBERTY?
So, why
aren't the Democrats running away with every election? Because selling Democrat
policies is like Coca-Cola's marketing team trying to sell the public on rat
spit in a bottle. Since they can't sell their product, they spend all their
time convincing the public that the little Republican girls down the street
selling lemonade probably spit in it when their mothers aren't looking. Sadly,
this tactic works pretty well and a lot of Democrats end up voting for people
who are ruining their lives.
1) BLACK AMERICANS: Over the last few decades, no group
has been more fiercely loyal to the Democrats than black Americans. Typically,
the Democrats capture 90% of the black vote nationwide. However, it's worth
asking what black Americans actually get out of that deal. Sure, if you're
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Touré, it's a pretty good gig, but how does
the average black American benefit from voting for the Democrats? Affirmative
Action? That program helps very few people and it also leads to many black
Americans getting into a college that they wouldn't normally qualify for with
their academic record. Some people might call that a plus, but as a
practical matter, it causes an inordinate number of the brightest, most promising young black
Americans to flunk out of college when they could have graduated had they
gone to less challenging schools.
In
return for that dubious bit of "help," the Democrats fight voucher programs that could get black
students out of failing schools, laugh at black Americans who are Christian,
pro-life and believe in God's definition of marriage and they do nothing of
consequence to tackle the crime and drug problems that makes life so unbearable
for many black Americans. The worst places in our country for black Americans to live are
inevitably run by Democrats who've long since given up on improving the lives
of their constituents.
Economically,
black Americans are still suffering under the Democrats as well. The numbers
are so bad that they're almost hard to believe. "In 2009, the
average net worth for white households was $113,149 and $5,700 for black households” while the unemployment rate for black Americans is double the rate for
whites. Black Americans deserve a lot better than that from the people who
serve them in government.
2) SINGLE WOMEN: Did you know that Mitt Romney
actually won married women 53-47 over Obama? However, Obama won single women in
a landslide and that's not unusual. Single women tend to go heavily for the
Democrats. The sad thing about that is Democrats pull it off by baiting a
trap. They promise free birth control and abortion. They offer up
welfare, food stamps and other programs that are designed to shoulder the
financial load that a husband would in normal circumstances. Then they proceed
to denigrate, demean and slime any conservative woman who opposes those things
in the most vicious, nasty and grotesque manner possible.
Why?
Because a
single woman struggling to survive is likely to take any help she can get from
the Democrats and will return the favor by voting for them. On the other hand,
a woman who's successful, financially secure and married is much more likely to
vote Republican. This is true across every race, religion and demographic
group. This is why, for example, Democrats have engineered a system where in many cases, "the single mom
is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income and
benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of
$57,045.” They don't WANT single women to be independent and financially
secure because that would make them more likely to vote Republican.
No woman
grows up wanting to stay permanently poor, single and dependent on the
government for her survival, but for the Democrats to succeed, they need as
many women as possible stuck in exactly that position.
3) UNIONS: Even though the union membership is
a little more split, the union bosses have thrown their lot in with the
Democrat Party. This has paid some dividends for them because undeniably, the
Democrats are bending over backwards to appease the unions. However, there is a
heavy price to be paid for being totally tied to one political party.
For one
thing, union membership is death spiraling into oblivion. At one point, 34% of
Americans were in a union, but now that number is down to "11.9 percent, the lowest rate in more than 70 years."
Furthermore,
because of the staggering cost of some of the pension deals that unions have
previously negotiated for their members, there are cities and states facing a
choice between honoring their previous agreements with unions or going bankrupt. What that means is that like it or not,
union members are about to start taking haircuts all across the country.
Since
unions have allied themselves entirely with the Democrats, Republicans have
every incentive to hurt the unions when they can, thwart any rule changes that
would allow unions to grow and to try to cut as deeply as possible from the
unions in any sort of bankruptcy deals. Sure, siding with the Democrats might
maximize any gains that unions have already made, but it also almost guarantees
their coming descent into oblivion.
4) YOUNG AMERICANS: One of the best things about being
young is that feeling of invulnerability that comes with it. You hear about all
the terrible things that happen to other people, but you'll be the one that
gets by with it, right?
Unfortunately,
it's not working out like that for a lot of young Americans who made the
mistake of trusting Barack Obama. It's bad enough that they have a jobless rate under Obama that's nearly double the national
average, but he's running up the national credit card with an unsustainable
level of debt that younger Americans are going to be asked to pay off.
If
you're under 25, by the time you hit your prime earning years, you're likely to
face bleak long
term economic prospects because of our massive debt load along with the
crushing taxes that will be required to pay for it. Worse yet, the entitlement
programs so many Americans rely on are now in terrible danger because of the
reckless spending the Democrats are insisting on. As Ann Coulter has frequently noted,
“I don’t
know why Republicans keep saying we have to cut spending to save these
entitlements for our grandchildren. We have to cut spending to save these entitlement
programs for 45 year-olds. On our current spending rate, 45 year-olds will not
receive any Medicare.”
Does
that sound appealing? Struggling under a high tax burden to pay off debts that
you didn't run up with much less of a safety net than the last few generations
of Americans? That's what young Americans are heading towards and the saddest
thing is, they're voting for it. It's not even a case where young Americans are going to be
partying and then paying the price later. It's even worse because the Democrats
are partying with their money and plan to stick them with the bill.
5) HISPANIC AMERICANS Although there are a few exceptions,
Hispanic Americans have voted for the Democrats by a roughly 3-to-1 margin over
the past few decades. What have Hispanic Americans gotten in return for that? Democrats
block school choice initiatives that would allow Hispanic Americans to send
their kids to better schools. They also create massive amounts of red tape
that make it much harder for Hispanic small business owners to become
successful. In fact, if you're a Hispanic American who wants a piece of the
American Dream, you'd be hard pressed to come up with anything that the
Democrats do for you other than their one supposed "trump card" --
they're in favor of illegal immigration.
The
great irony of illegal immigration is that Hispanic Americans are economically
hurt by illegal immigration much more than the average American because they're
more likely to be going head-to-head in the same professions with people who
often don't pay taxes, don't pay for health care and don't pay for car
insurance. There
are undoubtedly millions of Hispanic Americans who've followed every rule and
done everything right who don't have jobs today because of illegal aliens.
There are also millions of other Hispanic Americans who are taking home $3 or
$4 less per hour than they otherwise would without illegal aliens driving down
the cost of labor.
Furthermore,
for all the complaints about illegal immigration, the dirty little secret is
that some sort of compromise that allows illegal aliens to stay in the country
as guest workers, but not citizens, would probably be very passable in
Congress. The real reason that isn't happening is because it would allow
Hispanic Americans to see how badly they're being hurt by people who aren't in
the country legally.
When you want to work, but can't feed your family because you don't have a
job and you see a "guest worker" from a foreign country holding a
position you desperately need, your attitude starts to change in a hurry. The
Democrats understand that and secretly like the idea that illegal aliens make
it harder on Hispanic Americans. After all, the more successful you become, the
less you want the Democrats to do anything other than get out of your way.
