Republican voters feel their taxes pay for "freeloaders"

47. I agree. But part of problem is that working two jobs not enough to get ahead anymore

Used to be if you kept a job you could survive and if you worked a second (part time) job you could get ahead.
Many motivated blue collar people who do this now are still just scraping by. Instead of feeling content and generous, instead of feeling that they are getting ahead, they resent people who either aren't working or not working as hard.

I met a trump supporter on a plane recently who works 80 hour weeks as skilled labor. He grew up on a farm, sounded like he works hard as hell. Hard for them to relate to people not working, hard for them to understand that it's the screwed up economy hurting them.
