Great Society

I don't know anything about your organization but I am suspect. My suspicions arise from my experience with the Great Society. I voted for Lynden Johnson because of his ideas on helping the downtrodden. I was always in favor of what I called the Robin Hood syndrome and what many consider the foundation of the Democratic Party, that is, the redistribution of wealth. I believe that if all eligible voters were informed about the issues and then voted their best interest, there would be no Republican Party, at least not it it's present form. I believe that this is future for politics in American. As more minorities, especially Hispanics, begin to take a more active role in society many more people will be elected by campaigning on the issue of taking from those who have a lot and giving to those who have little. This will progress into giving to those who have some. Many middle class people are not aware that they are currently receiving benefits in the form of various kinds of tax shelters. Mortgage deductions, pension benefits, and charitable gifts to name a few. These shelters are primarily used by the middle class, that is, those with family incomes above $50,000 and who are homeowners. Other groups like farmers and business owners have their share of shelters and of course large corporations have many gifts from our governments.
You might ask that if I am aware of how all this money is redistributed why begrudge those on the low end of the economic scale. I answer based on my experience with the Great Society. There are too many middlemen. By the time my dollar goes through the system only about twenty cents gets to the intended target, while the rest is siphoned off by those in charge.
I will predict that our new emigrants will learn much faster than those who came with my parents that the way to the golden streets is through government rather than hard work. This is not the case now with the Hispanics that I know but given the proper guidance they will quickly learn.
I have not even mentioned the damage done to three generations of welfare recipients in ways other than economic but that is another subject.
