Who exactly are these “Freeloaders” and “Welfare Queens” the GOP still blames for the US deficit?

[FrenchieCat]

REPUBLICANS have unabashedly, for years and years, identified Freeloaders and Welfare Queens as minorities and illegal immigrants. GOP voters have sent each other chain emails for as long as we have had emails, detailing and decrying the many benefits Minorities and undocumented immigrants enjoy in this country, while implying that it is working White America who is left to foot the bill. As recently as 2012, Mitt Romney blamed his loss in the presidential election due to Barack Obama promising gifts to Blacks, Latinos and young people.

Even today, we hear of claims that undocumented immigrants are costing millions/billions to the US treasury, in Sen. Ted Cruz and Mr. Trumps’ stump speeches to their resentful angry GOP supporters. In fact, Sen. Cruz proposed legislation to ban any welfare benefits to undocumented immigrant families.

Fortunately, the widely held assumption by too many Americans as to who takes advantage of welfare and other government benefits is FALSE. In fact, undocumented Immigrants, in terms of government benefits, cost us very little.

As to which Americans receive Governmental benefits, the truth is that Whites are more likely to receive Food Stamp benefits than African Americans or Latinos, and According to the New York Times blacks comprise 22 percent of the poor, but blacks only take in 14 percent of government benefits. Conversely, Whites make up 42 percent of the poor, but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits.

During this election season, one of the Democratic Candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I), has promised that if elected, he would enact additional government benefits for all Americans, including free public college tuition and Single Payer National health care. Sanders proposes paying for these new programs by increasing the taxes paid by corporations, Wall Street, and most working individuals residing in the United States.

Meanwhile, Sec. Hillary Clinton is offering a different approach. She does propose fixing some parts in the existing Obamacare healthcare law, while proposing to make community college free (including books and transportation), and dramatically reducing student debt, but she offers to get this done by raising taxes on only 02% of Americans, and closing corporate loopholes in order to increase tax revenue to pay for her proposals.

So of the two candidates running on the Left while using Republican stereotypical Logic, it would follow that the alleged Welfare Queens and freeloaders would support the candidate who offers the most in government programs, regardless of cost to taxpayers. This stereotypical mantra would then have to assume that most minorities would then surely support Sen. Bernie Sanders.

But in truth, that is not what is happening, as I have discussed before

When one reviews who supports Sen. Sanders vs. Sec. Clinton, what is found is the demographics of Sanders support appears to be White millennials, and a high percentage of White men. In contrast, an overwhelming majority of Minorities are supporting Secretary Hillary Clinton, as well a high percentage of women and older Americans voters.

So what does this mean?
Well based on the the above information.....
The below is what the Republican's identified targets to call Welfare Queens and Freeloaders typically should look like...
So the GOP needs to make sure to keep that representation in mind for future references.

Was a pleasure to read it and I learned from it as well.
