I totally agree. Politicians always appeal the lower income people and unions because they make up the majority of votes needed to win. Lower income individuals, and those receiving some type of government assistance, are more likely to receive food stamps and the majority of union workers in one way or another work for companies that are government contractors. Individuals receiving food stamps will vote for politicians who continue providing food stamps and unions will vote for politicians who continue providing their employers government contracts. Both government benefits and government contracts are paid by tax payers. “Ruled by wild democracy.”
