What does political affiliation has to do with financial responsibility?
- yummyfajitas 17y agoDemocrats tend to view the poor/needy as people who were unlucky. Redistribution is justified as evening out the results of chance. Republicans (excluding the 'lefty christian' ones such as Bush [1]) tend to view the poor/needy as financially/etc irresponsible people. Redistribution is not justified, being mainly just a tax on responsibility. The example given in this article supports the Republican view more than the Democratic view. [1] I use 'lefty christian' to describe the ones who support both redistribution/social spending/etc, but differentiate themselves from Dems using christian nationalism.
