The bottom line in all this is that beginning with FDR the Democratic party sought political advantage in conjuring up the issue of entitlement into our culture with they being the best party to dole out the goodies. kennedy gave it a big boost with his poverty tour in the 1960 election campaign and Johnson confirmed it in the Great Society handing out federal money like honey to all the same groups that make up the Democratic constituency today. The campaign to villify individual rights as opposed to the power of the Federal Government is the latest phase. Republicans simply stated have always been for smaller government and less intrusion. Republicans resistance to playing Robin Hood is the sole cause of their being a target for Demo-liberal hostility. Marcel deste
