Thats a 1980s Democrat talking point.
Republicans are clearly the part representing the middle class right now. Dems gave that up for gender and race.

Why oh why do they continue to vote to stay on the government plantation rather than look for something that actually benefits their condition?
Democrats have convinced them they are victims. They can't succeed on their own. They need government to survive.

Most of the people who support the Dim/Groomer/Transformer party are looking for some type of government handout/entitlement along with the abolition of society criticizing their debauched and sinful lifestyles.

The left runs a spoils system.
It is dependent on being able to hand out goodies captured from people in the merit system.

This! They live their entire lives, never having to work. Every day is Saturday for them. They can do whatever they want, any day, all day.
It’s no wonder that they get into all kinds of mischief like drug deals or all those kids due to having all of that free time.
Now, they never amass any wealth or security, but they don’t have to work. And, by now, it’s in its third generation of recipients.
They have chosen a life of leisure and just skating by over a life of work and the American dream.
Maybe this is the new American dream?
The problem is now "this" is not enough.. They want more.. Even though they "chose" their position and lot in life, they are saying it is because of slavery, systemic racism, etc. that they do not have more of the luxuries that working middle class or upper class have. It will never be enough.

However, for the vast amount of Democrat voters out there, ESPECIALLY those on the lower end of the economic scale,
Because the above make up the vast majority who must have gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooberment help, their vote is paid for by such help.
Of course, the vote counters, ballot box stuffers, and ballot collectors get their $15 an hour stipend as well.

What happens when you push tons of money to poor people? economically speaking.
They spend it, they don’t hoard more than they could ever need

They spend it quickly, do you know why?
What is the tradeoff?

Real wages going down and inflation going up?

And wealth goes to select corporations.
Nothing changes, you get higher prices which makes everything unaffordable, and the wealth still goes to the top. Amazon, GM get larger. The wealth boom creates bubbles to where the middle class and poor will not be able to afford housing, etc.
It doesn't go to mom and pop business.
That doesn't even start to address dependency.

Are you trying to say poor people are actually fiscally responsible, and it's just the system keeping them poor?

They're having a youth environmental summit locally, paying kids to come.
Youth environmental summit, paid youth, future voters. They money used to prop up these groups comes from the taxpayer.

We have one "pay the people" response.

Libraries, playgrounds, public transit, basic community things that Republicans are less eager to contribute to.
Biden country accounts for 71% of this country’s economic activity, so if you live in red country, thank a Democrat for subsidizing your entire existence.

Basic behaviorism explains why this is doomed to fail. Poor people who are fiscally irresponsible get money, don't work, buy a bunch of junk they'll sell off in a couple of months.
Wealth goes to the top. Poor stay poor. I don't see how an adult could possibly think throwing money at poor folks who have generationally proven they cannot handle their own affairs to be not very prudent.

Human nature is not to delay gratification and get ahead. It is to get the easiest calories and shelter that you can procure. You are wondering why people would display perfectly natural and normal behavior.
This is especially the case for those of African decent as they stayed in place. Even today there are tribes that do that do this. As many just survive day by day.
European descendents ventured out so their creativity for long term survival created a way to fight the below natural response. Why euro-white innovation and natural exploration has created what we have today, so we can in turn destroy it.
