Why doesn't the GOP mention the "free stuff" and "gifts" Republican voters get?

There are plenty of reliable Republicans who get heaping piles of government goodies," says Noam Scheiber at The New Republic. Seniors get Medicare, veterans get VA benefits, and corporations "gorge on lavish subsidies" — all with a thumbs-up from Romney. "Believe it or not, there are even wealthy financiers out there who don't pay income taxes on their loot and who deduct the mortgage interest on their vacation homes. (Not that I have anyone specific in mind.)" And don't forget, "Romney himself promised an exceedingly large 'gift' to elderly Republican voters: restoring $718 billion worth of savings from Medicare that Obama had achieved through the Affordable Care Act."

And most of all, when we're talking about "free stuff," who gets more of it than elected politicians in Washington? Even the ones who claim to hate "big government"!!

Seeing that a colossal majority of the minority voted for him. And which you can google any chart. They all exhibit minorities are the predominant ones on benefits. Also he got 33+ % of the white vote. If the these whites had not voted for him he would have lost. Of path you say " the usa is becoming more liberal" it's. Nevertheless jobs have been more fundamental to Romney than whatever. Obama focused quite a bit on gays, the environment and so forth. And that is what got him the win

just about everything you mention is either people's money coming back to them (medicare) or people being able to keep their OWN money (mortgage deductions)...




...so once again, how is it that you justify saying that me being allowed to keep mine means that I'm actually stealing from you?
