This is what I don't understand: why would that matter? Are working non-caucasian people any happier about having their hard-earned money stolen from them through taxation to give to the bum next door?

It's about conservatism and how it's a better alternative to the overgrown and entrenched welfare state. And how that welfare state is not sustainable.

When enough people, whom we previously haven't heard from politically at the polls, vote in favor in keeping more of their money rather than subsidizing the lifestyle of those who don't work, liberalism is dead.

By the way, there is no such thing as an entitlement. It is impossible for anyone to be "entitled" to the earnings of somebody else. Not one penny. Charity and emergency spending are different, but this "baseline budgeting" of social programs year after year must end, so it will end, or the system (and the dollar) will break.

friggin great post!
