2020 Disunited States of America Election

Most of the people taking welfare are white. A high percentage of these don't see the benefits they get as being handouts from the government.

Farmers don't see price supports as government handouts, silicon vally moguls don't see access rights to the broadcast spectrum as handouts, doctors don't see their being shielded from foreign competition as handouts, real estate owners don't see depreciation rules as handouts.

The surest sign of an asshole is that they will tell you they were self-made.

Yeah, pretty much. I'd add that any rich CEO who tells you to "work smart, not hard" is punting the hard work to someone else. Hard work doesn't disappear because of the decision to work smart; it has to get done somehow by someone.
