Whatever the case, his words strike at the heart of the cultural divide that current bridges this country. There are those that believe it is a countries moral imperative to help all its citizens to have a specific standard of living, whereas the other half believe that besides some simple basic liberties/rights (religion, guns, state rights, guns, speech, etc) everything is up to the individual.

Yep, like it or not, this is the reality of the American political fight. This is the conflict and debate that is really splitting the nation, and it is more complicated than being right or wrong.
Of course, this is complicated by the fact that the rich elites get government welfare as well and that will increase under GOP policies. The poor get welfare because they need it; the rich get welfare because they can demand it.
