You see this philosophy on a regular basis with proposals for free college for 2 years, free child care, etc. Why wouldn't people vote that way? You can argue whether this is a good or bad thing but it is true. You can try to slip the police and fire fighters into the argument but we both know that is not relevant. A large number of people derive substantial benefits with very little skin in the game. They are a big component of the democratic voters. What is amazing is that they are not mobilized for the mid-terms. This suggests that they are not well informed as the mid-term elections often have huge impacts on local and state governments. It is what it is.
