Does poverty lead to giving up freedoms for care?
ChuckyBob's 11mar16 comment on the subject of
voting privilege is astute, in my estimation. . Please
give it your consideration:::
When I was much younger I lived for several years in the barrios of Chicago amongst some very humble and economically challenged folks. I gained a good understanding of the draw of dictocratic communism. The lower you are on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the more appealing it seems to have someone say "Surrender all your rights to me and I will supply all your needs." However, as you climb the ladder of the Hierarchy, you can see that dictocratic communism is very shortsighted and suboptimizes the human experience. So, it is to the benefit of the major parties, both Demoratans and Republicrats to have a substantial "lower" class to whom they can promise "Surrender all your rights to me and I will supply all your needs." because that lower class will vote to keep them in power.
