right wing is on public assistance

Whites without a college degree is a very polite way of saying idiot.

Even as congressional Republicans mobilize for a new drive to retrench federal anti-poverty efforts, whites without a college degree—the cornerstone of the modern GOP electoral coalition—have emerged as principal beneficiaries of those programs, according to a study released Thursday morning.

No different from saying Whites with a college degree in liberal arts is a polite way of saying complete idiot.
 
on the other hand, their base pays 95% of all income taxes.....

Not really. If they qualify for benefits they are in the bottom 50% of income earners which only pays 2.3% of federal income taxes.

Percent of All Federal Income Taxes Paid (Average Tax Rate)
Top 1%: 40.1% (25.4%)
Top 5%: 60.3% (22%)
Top 10%: 71.4% (19.9%)
Top 25%: 87% (16.8%)
Top 50%: 97.1% (14.6%)
Bottom 50%: 2.3% (3.4%)
 
They are so preoccupied with hate toward others that they don’t see themselves in the same lesser situation as those they hate

So I can't support conservative policies or principles, I simply vote the way I do because of hate? Really?
 
Or, high school graduate (2/3 of adults in U. S.).

That income redistribution seems to be helping those who need it most.

It is interesting to see the Democratic Party go from a more blue collar working class base to today, where if you don't have a college degree you are deemed an idiot.

I remember when Democrats bragged about being for the "common man." Now, when the common man votes Republican, they denounce him as uneducated (their term for high school graduate) rubes/deploreables/etc.

Their attitude lost them the working class vote.

They also claim the working class is voting against their "own interests" as if we only measure our interests by government benefits.

Well it doesn't help that they voted for Trump, Cruz, MTG and others.
