The older folks that I know - white black and hispanic and asian- oppose the new plan because they know that they will be rationed services when they really need them , in their "golden years" when they need care the most, and when they are most deserving and have earned the care for decades of .dues paid .They been round long enough to know that govt lies. As well, medicaid is nearly broke so why give corrupt pols another system to bungle? Nothing personal O !

Thats fine. I don't really care what a person has to say that supports socialism.

The government is not the answer to your problems.

again, google search: beyond red vs blue: part 3: demographics

@alwynsw Thanks, that's about as close to a complement I'll expect from you.

Did you look up the P.E.W. study I posted? Or are you still stewing in your own pot of ignorance?

The fact is, the more educated people are, the more liberal they become.

[alwynsw]

You're absolutely correct. Not to put too fine an edge on it, there's an odor about people such as you.

Feel free to vent your spleen all you want . I'd prefer not to spin my wheels with one who refuses to see reason or honestly investigate before making judgments, so I'll just hobble along in my dotage and leave you wallow in your own misguided and malicious bile.

That's right. Berkeley consistently ranks in the top-five of all Universities in the area of political science.

You shouldn't have started with me.

[alwynsw]

@plimbuff Berkeley explains a great deal.  Have fun in Ho Chi Minh park. Like the cabinet maker, I'm done finished.

[plimbuff]

@alwynsw,

Interesting.

Here are mine.

P.H.D. in U.S. History - U.C Berkeley.

Masters in Political Science - U.C. Berkeley.

B.A. in Sociology - U.C. Berkeley

It may surprise your simplistic brain, but liberals are actually more educated than Conservatives, according to the statistics.

Here's a P.E.W. report to help you see the truth. Just cut and google search this:

Impression are opinions. We all know about opinions.

The ignorance is yours. Repair it before we continue. Promoting self reliance is far from racism.

Grow up.

BTW, M.S in Poly Sci, B.A. in U.S. History.

Try again. We'll talk again after you get out of the basement and see the world.

[plimbuff]

Here's my impression of you alwynsw.

You just don't get it. You need to study ALL history, not just the parts you like.

You're ignorance of basic voting records of the house, senate, and the American people is truly pathetic.

You have a lot of history reading to do. I suggest you get started.

[alwynsw]

If you're lucky, you'll be old someday. Remember, those people you're disparaging gave you everything you have through hard work, innovation, wit, and courage - or at least gave you the opportunity to gain what you have.

Until you gain a bit of wisdom to go with what you think you know, you'll remain an ungrateful boorish ass.

[alwynsw]

You'll never get it until you add some knowledge and experience.  Read, absorb, lean. Look at the record, forget blogs. Try actual history as opposed to opinion. You'll see the truth of it.
