This line is telling:

"We don't vote for Democrats because we're self-reliant so we don't like the government trying to "solve" everything for us."

This coming from someone who lives in a time when gains have already been made. While the Democrats are not perfect, they do espouse ideas that have made society better.

Cons whine about not wanting the government to "solve" things, but ignore that sometimes the government has to intervene to raise everyone's boat.

To hear Cons tell it, they'd be happy being stuffed in a coal mine at six to work fourteen to sixteen hour days because that means the government did not "solve" anything.

On the one hand, Cons laugh at Libs because they say we think the terrorists will stop bombing people if we ask them not to nicely. On the other, they think that business owners will not exploit labor if we ask them not to nicely.

It's out of balance.

Get over the "self reliant" myth, Cons.
