Democrats are known for the fact that they do not vote in very large numbers….unless they become angry.  It is a clear tactic of their leadership to ensure that they become angry.  And what makes them really angry?  Being told that they have been victimized.  Once they are convinced that they are victims, they run to the polls. 

Anger is the center of power for the left which is why their leadership works so hard to not only convince their legions that they are victims but to ensure that they remain victims.  That is why the left promotes dependence on big government.  That is why the left tells people that they are entitled to handouts.  The leadership of the left has convinced lower income people who have never taken a dime from government that they are entitled to take that dime and should take that dime.  And they keep those who take that dime dependent on more…just enough entitlement to stay barely afloat but not enough to be independent of big government. 

That is what gives power to the Democrats.  As a result, the leaders of the left encourage people of lower income to vote against their own self-interest so that the left can maintain its power base.  It is incredible that this tact works no matter how fast the economy is growing.  The hypnotic chants of the left are a refrain that has no basis in reality.
