The reason that this is being painted as a liberal issue is:
1) It is being proposed by Democrats in Congress
2) It is simply another example of the nanny state in action that liberals tend to embrace.
Examples?
Drop out of school and can’t get a job? No problem, we’ll give you welfare. Can’t get a good job because you are too lazy to take advantage of free educational and work training opportunities that we’ve provided? No problem, we’ll mandate a living wage. Have kids you can’t afford or have more kids when you can’t afford the ones you have? No problem, we’ll give you welfare and AFDC. Didn’t manage to save any money for retirement? No problem, we’ll confiscate it from others and send you a check.
I’m fiscally conservative. In general, I believe in a hand up not a hand out.
