Survey Seyz Kansas Conservatives Condemn Government Assistance To The Poor

The report might might not be very compassionate but it offers a glimpse at red state opinion going into election season. 

Moreover . . .

The there might be a bit of shame & self-hate at work . . . Considering . . . 82% of households served by food banks in Kansas have incomes that make them eligible for SNAP benefits, but only 41% participate. 67% with children under 18 participate in free or reduced-price breakfast or lunch.

Still . . .

American philosophy about workers "pulling themselves up by the bootstraps" still holds sway over the mindset of the plebs and is reinforced by media and big biz that often benefit from corporate welfare. 

And so here's the quick sampling of public opinion in the Sunflower State . . .

Pew Research: 62% of Republican & Republican-leaning adults in Kansas say that government aid to the poor does more harm than good.

Accordingly . . . We ask our www.TonysKansasCity.com blog community . . .

How does it benefit poor people in Kansas to disdain & reject government resources??? 

Our tentative answer ALSO applies to the middle-class who often forget that cars, roads, jet fuel and so much medical assistance for seniors also benefit by way of government subsidy.

Basically . . .

Most voters only reject government aid offered to OTHERS and ignore all the benefits they enjoy.
