Heck, dislike of those types are exactly the reason why many of us on this thread is rooting for the failure of GOP!

I, for one, sincerely hope that you will never have to find out for yourself about the circumstance of what lead a person to be that poor so he/she needs to rely on things like food stamps, housing, etc to sustain themselve, or why they can't take advantage of the "benefits available" to them. While the system isn't perfect and certainly needs a few dialogue to sort out the entitlement issues, a party cannot survive when it wants to work for only selective fews.

In fact, wasn't like 1/3+ of the 47% the retired elderly?
Which is odd considering that fair amount of his own supporters fall in that 47% he called "entitled".
