First let me say, I appreciate your passion... Second, I appreciate the insight from you on this topic

I have been a card carrying democrat for my entire life. I am a county committee member. I have attended state conventions. I have worked for democrats in the state legislature. I have managed successful political campaigns...and I have NEVER met one single democrat in ALL THOSE YEARS who EVER "believed that the government should take care of everyone, and were too stupid to do anything for ourselves." Not once. And I have NEVER met one single democrat in ALL THOSE YEARS who EVER believed "blacks and other minorities are inferior and too stupid with their own money and lives. So they need the government to take care of them." Not once. For you to continue with hyperbolic flatulent rhetoric like that makes the possibility of intelligent discussion remote.

I am trying to have a discussion with you, and am giving you my perceptions, my thoughts, feelings etc. Just because i might be wrong, doesnt mean, i am some idiot, who wants to get into a flame war and just call you names.

Now, i would like to ask you a question

could you please tell me who you believes government assistance and who doesnt.

frankly i feel a bit insulted if you feel my intentions here are anything more then to have a discussion with you.

no..as long as those who were more fortunate than me pay even more...and those who were less fortunate not have their taxes increased as much as mine

I am all for a progressive tax policy.

Why don't you write a larger check to the IRS and tell them to use it for social programs? Why can't those who you consider "more fortunate" be allowed to keep their money? They did work hard for it didn't they? They earned it, so what gives you the right to say they should have to give it away to those who are "less fortunate"? Last time I checked, all Americans have the freedoms to be equal. Equality should not be forced and that is what you are advocating. Why not a flat tax that taxes all American equally? The more you buy, the more you pay. The less you buy, the less you pay. If you want something, work for it, don't expect it to be given to you. That is how you create a dependent society. You sound like a Socialist.

and your neighbor somehow speaks for the entire black population of america? who IS this guy?

He's a Puerto Rican government worker... when his party is in office he doesn't have to go to work to get paid... he's a pretty smart guy but doesn't speak for all blacks in America but I bet he has the PR population just about pined. Here's what I said...

The reason blacks vote Democratic is the same reason Puerto Ricans vote Democratic... The Democrats send more money to us poor folks is what my neighbor told me. The Democratic Party spent the missing trillions of Social Security money to fund black folks... oh, and Puerto Ricans too! Trillions! My neighbor said I'd be stupid to vote Republican because they want to cut the free stuff.

In America the blacks have been propped up by the Democratic Party so long they think they can't stand without Democratic crutches. Hand outs and crutches has the black population bought and paid for and now the Democratic Party is pandering to the illegal Mexican voting block in the same manner... supporting free medicine for illegal Mexicans, free programs of all types that are paid for by US tax payers... it is a quid pro quo.
